Rockfax Description
The chimney in the left side of the bay can be climbed inside or outside of the chockstones. The subterranean route is more secure, and tight; the outer one is precarious and probably S 4b. © Rockfax

βeta: Just realised my last comment may have been misleading. When I said safe as houses, I didn't mean in terms of gear, I just meant it would be very hard to fall off or out of. I didn't look at the gear, although there are plenty of chockstones to thread! | βeta? | |

βeta: I soloed the inside version of this at the weekend. Great fun, but safe as houses, and certainly not HVD! VD max I recon (one steep pull over the boulder at the top, but good foot ledges). | βeta? | |

βeta: This is a great route but a joke at Severe, its about as hard as the Diff to the right of it. The 'VS' variation might just be worth S but you can sling the whole chockstone to give yourself a toprope! Does no-one know how to chimney? | ||

βeta: Awesome fun. A classic of its type. Three stars if you like that sort of thing. None if you don't. | βeta? | |

βeta: The outside route is pretty soft at S and has never been VS! | βeta? | |

βeta: A glorious outing if you wind your way through the chockstones. Had me in stitches most of the way up. | βeta? | |
