8m.
Rockfax Description
8m. Tricky and rumoured to be a Joe Brown offering. Climb to the bulges and pull through these (a well-protected one-move-wonder and 5b for the puny) onto the short headwall. © Rockfax

βeta: On the right of the top headwall, about 15cm away from the big chimney, is a vertical crack that takes a number 1 nut. When I fell, this took part of the load (a weighed-down sling on the little nobble of rock just below the centre of the headwall took the rest. After I had fallen, I noticed that the nut had moved so I decided to remove and replace it. The nut took quite a bit of effort to wiggle out, but when it did come out the entire block of rock between the crack and the chimney moved a bit. That\'s a big piece of rock... I didn\'t bother putting the nut back in after that! | βeta? | |

βeta: There's a definate sequence to get above the bulge, however, the gear is excellent and there's loads of it too. | ||

βeta: Found it surprisingly straightforward - protection is right there for the crux. No way is it E1. | βeta? | |

βeta: A good route, but polished footholds and a hard finish don't make it an ideal solo. Indeed at least one person has died soloing the route... | βeta? | |
