Rockfax Description
Climb the buttress, passing an overhang early on, to an awkward leftwards exit under the final roof. Intimidating but not too bad. © Rockfax

βeta: The top overhang doesn’t inspire confidence. A very large block sat on an iffy flake. Be careful! | βeta? | |

βeta: I defy anyone to get over the roof with style. My undignified grovelling won me no technique awards. Probably VS as the gear is right above you - but there are many, many easier HVS's. | βeta? | |

βeta: Can't see why people think this is HVS. Sure, two 5a sections but both short, the first low down and the second well protected. VS 5a seems spot on to me. | βeta? | |

βeta: The definitive guide is nearer the mark at HVS 5a although the top crux might deserve 5b, agree worth a least one star. | βeta? | |

βeta: Superb route, with 2 separate cruxes. Possibly deserves HVS 5a and TWO stars! | βeta? | |
