Rockfax Description
A super climb when clean and then the match of anything at Millstone. Well protected and sustained rather than overly technical. Climb the fingery lower wall to the big break then step left and power up the fine continuation crack until respite arrives on the Western Terrace. Escape off left or lower-off from the tree. © Rockfax

βeta: Maybe hard E2. The gear is good except for the moves after the break. A bit sapced on RP's 2 and 4. Then excellent gear. Watch out for sand on your shoes fron the break. The tat on tha lower off is OK. | βeta? | |
