Rockfax Description
The dominating broad arete is a popular and exposed line that requires care with the rock in places. Start just left of the arete.
1) 30m. Climb well-worn rock passing a small overhang and ledge to reach a prominent crack. Head up the crack to a tree and then on up a groove to block and tree belays on the ridge.
2) 10m. Walk along to the next section of ridge. Either abseil/climb down moderate ground on the left (facing the ridge) or finish up the short ridge with care. © Rockfax
