Rockfax Description
Worth 'sniffing out' one evening. Start right of General Odours at a counter flake-line to Ritter Sport. Layback the flake passing two bolts, then make a flick left to reach a small cam slot. A committing rockover left gains the slab and a bolt on General Odours. Continue up this past a bolt, then traverse right to the Ritter Sport lower-off. © Rockfax
