Rockfax Description
An intimidating wall topped by some big overhangs. Walk down the path to a position under a large iron spike in a niche at 3m.
1) 5a, 36m. Pull directly up to the iron spike (or come in from the left). Exit the niche on the left and move up to a slim corner and follow this to a break at an overlap. Move right and pull over and rightwards past a peg to a ledge under an overhang. Gain a sticking-out flat block on the left and pull past the overhang (peg) on its left and climb the crack above to a small overhang. Move left and up past the overhang to gain the midway ledge.
2) 5a, 13m. The corner past a peg to a good ledge and belays.
3) 5a, 10m. Go left along the ledge to under a wall just right of a corner. Finish rightward up the wall on good small holds. © Rockfax

βeta: The path down is very overgrown at this end of the crag. Significant amounts of worrisome rock, but great climbing. | βeta? | |

βeta: Only two pegs left in the belay above the second pitch, top peg snapped when I pulled on it. Other two look solid enough but are concreted in so hard to tell. | βeta? | |

βeta: hexes might be useful to protect the top crack of p1, it's not entirely attached so cams might push it outwards... | βeta? | |

βeta: The first peg is loose but seems secure enough, the bolts further up are generally off route - would recommend extenders or long draws as there\'s not much other gear. | βeta? | |
