Rockfax Description
50m. A tremendous route with bold sections, taking the crack-line in the wall left of Teddy Bears' Picnic (best seen from 10m out from the base). Climb the crack over a tricky first bulge and continue over a smaller bulge to a final one. Climb this on good holds (or easier via the ramp on the right, returning left), to reach a shallow upper crack leading to a ledge at 40m. Go easily up right, then traverse left to threads. Either abseil, or traverse left to descend down heather.

βeta: Personally prefer the pillar, and felt the third bulge was the hardest, (carrying 2 paid off trainers.) This is also tic heaven, possibly 20-30 just in the way up brushed off before they bit, many on clothes back at the car! | βeta? | |

βeta: Ab tat is no longer viable and I didn't have a long enough bit with me to sort it. But the walk down is fine. | βeta? | |
