Rockfax Description
A fine little route with a great intricate line and exciting finish. Climb the groove then traverse right to the arete. The moves to pass this are unlikely but soon lead to the final crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Fantastic! Definitely near the end of the hard end for VS routes on Stanage - thin traverse (with an old cam stuck in a good hold and placement making things fiddly), committing move to the arete then the top is steep and sustained. Very pumpy - more sustained than other VSs. Top route - was an exciting #20 VS lead for me. | βeta? | |

βeta: Photo fails to show line of horizontal traverse to arete, easier than the diagonal crack of the Direct - which misses out on'steep right wall'. | βeta? | |
