Rockfax Description
The leaning headwall is superb. Difficulties increase as height is gained, particularly after the large mid-height pocket. © Rockfax

βeta: Only one lockable carabineer at anchor, some one has removed the perfectly usable steel crabs and replaced.it with a single lockable carabineer? Had to advised a party of climbers that you shouldn't be top roping on the single bolt and not to strip it using the single anchor point, with the one lockable carabineer and one maillon is encouraging people to be lazy, I recommend the bolt fund either fits rings or a second lockable carabineer on that route. | βeta? | |

βeta: I think this deserves a reach symbol. There is at lease one big move and if you can\'t span to that hold from the good feet it\'s obviously a lot harder. | βeta? | |

βeta: Quite a soft little tick at 7a but who's counting? We had fun, it's a good route, it's definitely not an easy route, and I recommend it. I was a bit surprised something with that much glue on a hold would make it to top 50, shoddy workmanship, wouldn't have them cowboys in my house | βeta? | |

βeta: This route is definitely not soft if you are short! I can see why it's 6c if you are a normal height though. | βeta? | |

βeta: I think it's true to a 7a grade. Raw deal in cheddar is easier, Slytherin in Gilwern is easier both are 7a this deserves its grade. | βeta? | |
