Rockfax Description
Good climbing and protection potential. Start as for Freedom. Climb to a pocket and a couple of metres higher head left to a right-facing slim corner that leads to the midway ledge. Move left to a tree and then climb straight up past a hole to a crack. Ascend the crack and where it ends make some exposed moves up a short rib to reach the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Well protected and amenable for the grade.
Start at the base of freedom, climb for about 5 metres until heading diagonally left to a ledge and a small tree on the left.
From under the tree climb the crack almost directly up (Phoenix is on your left). After a short layback section you reach easier ground and top out.
