Rockfax Description
A right-to-left diagonal line with plenty of interesting climbing. Polished in places, though that doesn't detract too much.
1) 4b, 30m. From a stumpy pedestal (scratched name) move up past a tree and take a diagonal line left across slabs to a steep groove. Climb this to a ledge and tree belay.
2) 4a, 20m. Continue across and left following the series of cracks and corners to a steep crack to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Also thought the second pitch was harder than the first. IMO it warrants HS 4b, 4b. | βeta? | |

βeta: My first HS (and multi-pitch) lead. The top pitch is lovely, although the wide crack at the top is a little intimidating at first - for someone who hadn't lead anything more than a VDiff before ;-) | βeta? | |
