Rockfax Description
An excellent and popular route which follows the main line of the wall. The climbing in the groove is superb and very pumpy. The upper wall is much easier but has some loose rock so make sure you get some good gear in. Start beneath the weakness in the lower wall. Climb up to the flake/crack and follow good holds up its left-hand side. From the top of the pedestal move up into the groove and follow it leftwards. At a small bulge pull back right onto the upper wall. Follow this to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Great climbing in the corner for about 4m - the rest of the route didn\'t seem noteworthy. I\'m actually pretty confused about why this route seems to get a lot of hype? I think Space Cadet is far better. Maybe I missed something... | βeta? | |

βeta: There's like only one wire once you leave the groove, that's where there's little gear! Pumpy as all hell in the groove. | βeta? | |

βeta: Who says all Pembroke E3s are soft for the grade? Well-protected, no hard moves, but pretty pumpy. | βeta? | |

βeta: bloody brilliant. sustained and well protected. dont know where the line about poor gear above the break-there's plenty, and its easy climbing by then. the very first moves off the floor (before the big ledge) are bloody desperate-easy british 7c. | βeta? | |
