Rockfax Description
Enticing climbing up the clean wall in the centre of the buttress. Start at some stacked blocks that lean against the crag base.
1) 4b, 42m. From the blocks, move up the left-hand side of the face passing the slim overlap a couple of metres left of a narrow right-facing corner (this feature is just above the overlap). Continue more easily to a huge tree then up to a belay below a sheer face behind it. Abseil descent possible from here.
2) 4b, 23m. Take the finger-crack to a narrow flake ledge and then head up the wall to a belay on the higher of a couple of grassy ledges. © Rockfax
