Rockfax Description
A long route up a large wall with a good amount of vegetation. It is best climbed during a dry spell as there are a number of vegetated ledges that can be unpleasant if wet.
1) 20m. Move up ledges to a ragged weakness in a short wall. Climb the ragged weakness to easier angled ground that leads left to a belay at a metal spike and tree.
2) 20m. Climb leftwards to a slab and follow it upwards until moves right reach a quartz corner and ledge. Move up the corner to a long ledge and take a belay at its far left end.
3) 22m. Climb up behind the belay to a grassy ledge and then progress up more grassy ledges (not pleasant, especially if wet) to a long ledge under the final wall. Move left to a belay at pegs.
4) 14m. Head up above the belay and move right above an overhang. Continue direct up the cleanest line, passing right of another overhang to the top. Belay on a crash barrier!
Exit - Take care when crossing the fence as the main road is immediately on the other side. © Rockfax

Four pitches, a classic route for a great day out in the sunshine, bring a packed lunch for the amazing views.
Start at the right hand end of the wall below an obvious vertical break.

βeta: P1-2 Be careful on traversing, no gear at all as overgrown grass sticking out of cracks. The ledges are all overgrown and very unpleasant on the feet, like the guidebook says. But I didn’t realise how overgrown and chossy the route actually is. I do not recommend as a warm up route. But the views are very good. | ||
