Rockfax Description
Small gear protects the technical wall moves on this popular pitch. Start up thin, well-scratched cracks to a small ledge at mid-height. Move left and take the thin wall to cracks and better holds that lead to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: As others have said, there is a big loose flake at the half way ledge. It's in a very convenient position to use but it'll likely blow if pulled on too hard. Plenty of other holds around so no need to crank on it..

βeta: There's a pretty wobbly spike handhold on the right just after the ledge. If you pull it hard enough it's not going to end well. Fortunately it's not a key hold

βeta: Easy up to the ledge, then laced cracks with protection which inspired confidence before tech boulder problem. Delicate up to big holds, but protection feet. Maybe me crapping my pants and missing something obvious. Ryan on second made it look very easy
