Rockfax Description
Classic crack climbing. Move up some left-facing flakes to reach the crack and follow it all the way to where moves out right lead to a tree and belay. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start on the left of the buttress below the open book corner/groove with a central flake. Climb straight until you reach the groove and continue up using a combination of laybacking and bridging. Stay within the groove until the end, trending right towards belay at the end.
Good protection behind the flake.
S. Moss, R. Thomas 1975.

βeta: Wasp nest still very much in use in raised ground under ivy to left of the crag. Like a busy Heathrow. Would not have climbed there had we noticed it before we finished the route! | βeta? | |
