Rockfax Description
Excellent roof climbing up the main line of the roof, which is more of a sprint than a marathon. Scramble up to the ledge then reach out and clip a bolt or two. Take a deep breath and move into upside-down mode. The first and last pulls are the hardest. Said to be "low 7a" by muscle-bound gorillas. © Rockfax

βeta: The jug hold at the third clip is loose and may at some point detach itself.

βeta: Good route, not worth 3 stars though. Basically only one hard move which can be done in a variety of ways. Found it easier than I thought I would, sent it 3rd go, which is saying something cos I'm really not very good at overhangs.
