Rockfax Description
30m. A fairly serious route in an intimidating position, overlooking the red wall. Start where Optimist's Gully drops steeply into the sea. Traverse horizontally right across a slab and climb the edge over a small overhang until a small green slab on the right can be crossed to reach a steep shattered wall. Up this, trending right to a large flake and perch. Move into the groove above and left (crux). Climb the groove, hand traverse the right wall and move up and back left to a grassy groove to finish.
