Rockfax Description
The finest route in WCJ has a hard move on the lower wall. Once past this, the route follows a superb finger/hand-crack. Climb left of a lower crack to a bulge (peg). Pull through with difficulty to the ledge above then head up the wall to gain the crack. Thrash up this (off-fingers and small cams ), the hanging corner is your target; make it that far and you're home.. © Rockfax

βeta: Good climbing especially the upper crack. This route was adequately protected by leader placed protection with no reliance on any insitu pegs at all.
