Rockfax Description
Intimidating and memorable. From blocks, enter the leaning groove (poor wires) then climb to the roof. Swing right and scale the bulge - strenuous then delicate - to stand on the nose. Easier climbing remains - the centre of the face is the best option though the terminally harassed can escape left. © Rockfax

βeta: Yeah i put a zero in the half-cam placement which looked bomber! Awesome route which feels rather exposed when cruising the top easier section with little useful gear! ***stars | ||

βeta: A good HB/Rock 3 with poor friend 0 in the bulge/groove at head height on the initial traverse out was welcome. The friend half John is very hard to spot and was missed by me. | ||

βeta: The rockover out of the steepness is protectable with a bomber friend half (or possibly zero) in horizontal break on right. | ||
