Rockfax Description
A magnificent route which should be on everyone's Pembroke tick list. Start below the arete at the left-hand end of a platform which runs along the cliff base from beneath the abseil. Climb up, on huge holds, to the bottom of a thin crack. Follow the crack, with a bit of assistance from some holds on the right. Continue past a flowstone section (beware of nesting birds) to a groove. Move left onto a ledge then climb the pinnacle, and wall behind it, to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Better to position yourself on the left of the crack for the crux, hold on the right are not useful for upward progress | ||

βeta: No danger whatsoever of me being able to climb this route. With fingers like bannanas ands feet like cricket bats, I'm totally buggered on the crack section. You lot with your manicured girly fingers will love it. P.S. I hate you all. | βeta? | |
