Rockfax Description
A hard upper pitch with a perplexing sequence and difficult route finding. Start where the path regains the face at a slabby area.
1) 5b, 26m. Head rightwards to some blocks and follow these to below a long overhang. Go left for 2m and pass the overhang to reach a good hold. Continue up thin cracks and a corner to the midway ledge and belay.
2) 6a, 23m. Right of the belay, make some steep pulls to gain the horizontal break and traverse left to a block. A perplexing sequence to stand on the block can prove a stopper move for some. Once on the block, move up to a thread (in situ) and then left to a corner and take this to a horizontal break and overhang. Traverse right and finish up a corner. © Rockfax

βeta: I would definitely consider taking a knee-pad for a decent rest after the traverse. Would need to work out the following moves though before a proper attempt. | ||
