Rockfax Description
A direct line but neglected and with loose rock high up.
1) 5b, 18m. Climb straight up the pocketed wall to the hanging lump and pull right past this before sprinting up a short groove and the wall to a stance.
2) 5b, 14m. Climb the slim groove above and left - loose - to join Gangue Grooves. The original line moved right to the arete but this is under ivy. © Rockfax
