Rockfax Description
40m. An awe-inspiring line up the superb jutting prow. It is sustained and technical with a powerful crux but with six peg runners it is almost a sport climb. Start up Right-Angled Groove. Climb the groove for 3m to a ledge, then climb the flake-crack above (two pegs). Move right round the arête and go up to a superb thread. Climb straight up the thin finger crack and the arête to a good rest under the roof. Very hard moves out left and up gain the prominent diagonal crack and a line of incut jugs which lead past two pegs to the capping wall. Continue with interest past two small finger pockets to pull out right to a ledge, then move up to a belay.
