Rockfax Description
The first pitch is a bit earthy. Start just left of a small tree at ledges leading to a wide corner-crack.
1) 4b, 13m. Gain the crack at the top of the earthy ledges and bridge it to the midway ledge. Peg and nut belays.
2) 5b, 12m. Ascend the short wall to a ledge and move right to a slim corner. Climb the corner past a peg with difficulty to an overhang. Pass the overhang on the right and finish leftwards. © Rockfax
