UKC

33m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A stiff first pitch contrasts with a death-defying unprotected second. Start below a thin, left-facing flake right of the main left-to-right weakness.
1) 5c, 17m. Make difficult fingery moves to gain and then leave the flake rightwards to eventually reach more substantial holds in a crack that comes in from the right. Continue with less difficulty up flakes and cracks to a narrow ledge and a high spike/nut belay.
2) 5c, 16m. Unprotected. Follow the line of holds rightwards up the wall and then step up right onto scooped holds before making a heart-in-mouth friction move to better holds and easier ground above. © Rockfax

βeta: The 2nd pitch doesn't have any gear once you leave the line of good holds straight off the ledge and start the slab section proper. It is extremely run out. The next piece of gear is at the top of the crag.....
