Rockfax Description
Four contrasting pitches split by good belay ledges. The difficulties on the second pitch are 'traditional' - meaning probably harder than VDiff! Start at a tree at the base of a vertical corner that is at the beginning of The Easy Way Down.
1) 23m. Climb the corner with a thin crack, and another couple of corners above it, to a huge flat ledge with various tree belays.
2) 4a, 10m. Can be avoided on the right. Walk right to a well-defined hand-crack. Boulder up the fun wall and overlap just to its left and then the more technical polished groove in the next wall. Belay at a tree and cracks in the short wall above.
3) 18m. The buttress above is climbed via an excellent crack just left of two small trees. Belay on good ledges above.
4) 12m. Climb a thin hand-crack up the centre of the final buttress just right of a tree. Belay at the top on flat ledges. © Rockfax

βeta: Sadly a couple of blocks are wobbly on P1: the obvious jug after the first wall and then the obvious gear placement in the 2nd corner. These used to be fine but now some caution is required. | βeta? | |
