Rockfax Description
45m. This splendid route with its two contrasting pitches starts towards the centre of the face, beneath the line of a thin crack leading to a ledge at 3m.
1. 25m 5a Climb the thin crack to the ledge. Continue to another ledge, then go up and left on widely spaced holds and protection to another ledge and belay; if required there is further gear just over the bulge.
2. 25m 5a Pull over the bulge to gain then climb a prominent short left-facing corner to reach an old peg. Traverse left (crux), then go up to good holds and continue the traverse leftwards to finish.
