Rockfax Description
An intricate and unlikely line weaving through steep ground.
1) 5a, 20m. Climb a short groove then move up left to a small hanging lump. Make some steep moves past this then climb a crack over the bulge. Move up then back right to a belay below a long red groove. A strenuous pitch.
2) 4c, 20m. Trend right up the slabby wall of the groove, past a tree, and finish up the continuation groove above, exiting right. © Rockfax
