Rockfax Description
A reasonable way of reaching the Central Ledge - where the routes on the upper section of wall begin. Can be a bit grassy in the crack. Start 9m right of a plaque and just left of a tall tree growing next to the crag. Move up an open groove and then traverse right to below a crack. Climb the crack past a peg on the left to the Central Ledge. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
This route combined with 'The Tap' and 'Bacchanalian' became known as 'Great North Wall Route'.

βeta: After gaining the good feet after the traverse, there's a loose block that's very tempting as a foothold.

βeta: The hand hold below the bore hole is cracked through and wobbles. I needed and used this to move up to the good hold at the top of the bore hole that allows you to reach the peg. I felt there was a potential to deck. And needed to really clean out the break to take a cam after the lower peg on the direct start variant.
