Rockfax Description
Some good, open face climbing in its upper half. Take care low down as the bolts are spaced and the rock friable. © Rockfax

βeta: I thought this was potentially a brilliant route. The first half is sustained and fairly steep, the next section involves some excellent, intricate slabby stuff, and then there's a juggy finish. It is still a bit crumbly in the bottom half but just needs a bit of care and should clean up if it gets enought traffic. The bolts are excitingly spaced - not one to push your grade on - but I thought scary rather than dangerous. | βeta? | |
