Rockfax Description
Devious and worthwhile. Climb the crack on the left then traverse to the right arete. Up this awkwardly on its left-hand side then move left into the centre of the face to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Felt really easy for the grade, gear is good when needed. Run out after crux but easy climbing. Nice route! | βeta? | |

βeta: you can protect the move but it gets a bit run out (gear a bit below feet?) on the bit they've been talking about. positive holds the whole, a great route. | βeta? | |

βeta: A lovely route. Delicate moves, with quite a bold feel about it, although the gear is actually very good. | βeta? | |

βeta: Easy start up the crack and traverse out right,rig up some bomber gear (two cams stitched together)and take the crux.I didnt find it reachy just a tad bold as you have to trust a slightly delicate smear above you gear. If your footworks good its a breeze. | βeta? | |

βeta: You can protect that move! You are moving up from a big fat break that takes friends. | βeta? | |

βeta: Would have liked better protection (ie not below my feet) for the hard move up the arete! Would be a 3 star route if it weren't for the ease of escape into Mississippi Chimney. | βeta? | |
