Rockfax Description
A great route with two testing pitches and a magnificent 'pat-on-the-back' finishing arete.
1) 5c, 20m. Climb the corner, which is hard at first but eases above, to a small roof. Swing right to a wide crack which leads to the ledge.
2) 5c, 25m. Climb the left-hand of two blank corners to another ledge (small micro wires useful). Swing like an ape up the steep crack in the left-hand side of the arete to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: The ledge at the top of the 'blank corner' of P2 is decaying and has been known to break off in large chunks...take care. | βeta? | |

βeta: A great first pitch which takes a bit of effort to protect but is safe. Second pitch is in a good position but eases off high up. | βeta? | |

βeta: With 'cunning' the initial corner isn't all that blank, and a hybrid collection of gear protects. The initial corner on p2 can (as an alternative) be climbed up the left arete. | βeta? | |
