Rockfax Description
An excellent climb up the big corner. This is the first feature encountered when traversing leftwards below the wall. Start below a slim groove below and slightly right of the corner. Climb the groove then step left into the corner and follow it to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Damp! In an attempt to say out of the SW breeze, we traversed in for this route. The sea-spray had plastered the rock in the turbulent leeward air. Jake lead hoping it would get drier higher up…it didn’t! Fortunately he laced it with pro and despite the slippery dampness we enjoyed the route.

βeta: Always a joy - really nice climbing, just makes HVS. Particularly nice when looking for something sheltered from westerlies & in the sun in the morning

βeta: A mediocre line in comparison to many other routes in the area and the climbing not quite as sustained and interesting as the description makes out.

βeta: Well protected and low in the grade, but becoming a little slimy from the combination of polish and chalk.
