Rockfax Description
An exciting route across the left-hand side of the roof. Climb the slab to the curving flake in the overhang, then using fat jams (large cam protection) trend to the right to finish just right of the nose on good holds. © Rockfax

FA. Gary Gibson 1978.

βeta: Didn't find this too much more difficult than FDB, didn't use jams, and thought it was as good as FBD... Great roof route with good moves, and a bit wild. Would love to try Flying Butt now, just for the finale!

βeta: I found this considerably harder than Flying Buttress Direct, I get the feeling that this is the real 5b.

βeta: Searched in vain for the fist jams - quite disappointed not find them in a strange way.
