Rockfax Description
A Wallsend classic that sees plenty of ascents. A lovely pitch on great rock. Start at the left-hand end of a high ledge below a shallow corner. Climb the rib just left of the corner (hard) to gain the wall proper and easier climbing. Follow the wall to a thin crack. Climb the thin crack to a final leaning headwall. © Rockfax

βeta: I pay into the bolt fund every month, and I should very much like to sponsor a bolt between 2nd and 3rd please. The very real chance of decking out on to the ledge is no fun. | βeta? | |

βeta: Always a relief to reach the 2nd bolt, particularly as you can't see it from below. Big stretch for the short to gain the first holds Great route though. | βeta? | |

βeta: On Sunday 18th February 2001 I was laybacking up the flake to the right of the first bolt when a huge bit broke off with me attached. The block hit the crack in the ledge below and broke in half and wedged. Luckily it missed my second and I swung on the bolt, but it was close! Anyway, I am reporting it because the route has changed. I don't think its any harder - just different - still a great route. | βeta? | |
