Rockfax Description
A classic and no pushover. Start at the front of the pillar.
1) 4b, 13m. Climb up past a pocket and then head up a slight groove to the midway ledge and belay.
2) 4c, 14m. The clean corner-crack leads to a capping overhang, from where a short but strenuous hand-traverse right gains the finishing corner of Swallow's Nest. Finish up the corner. © Rockfax

βeta: A chunk moved on the thread on P1 when I removed a sling, and there is a loose block just below the first belay that looks like it is used as a handhold - be very careful! | βeta? | |

βeta: Take care with the rock immediately before the big ledge (or belay if doing it in 2 pitches) A good amount of it now vibrates and might collapse at some point. | βeta? | |
