Rockfax Description
A ginormous pitch that has nineteen bolts. Take care lowering off as the route is 32m long. Head up the corner to mid-height, where a deviation out right and then back left regains the bolt line. More good climbing reaches the lower-off. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Long bolted line just right of the NE corner of Woodcroft Quarry. 19 bolts + 2 bolt lower-off (but there's at least one you can skip if your short of quickdraws).
60m rope only just reaches the ground when lowering, please take care. An alternative with a shorter rope is to multi-pitch the route from the first terrace.
Watch out for loose stones when belaying.
Climb the corner with holds out left until the route moves onto the main wall. Climb up to the bulge and, after clipping the bolt, move right to hidden hold out right and small jug a reach above. Climb over the budge and upward until a small traverse left is required. Climb up again until some more suspect rock on the left allows you to get to just below and left of the top out. Bridge out right using diagonal holds to reach the abseil station.

βeta: Eventually did all the moves but it was super reachy and sketchy over the crux, harder then 6a+ for short climbers. Looks like potential holds broken off? | βeta? | |

βeta: Awesome route, pumpy crux unlocked via the fabled hidden hold. Lots of good rests but found clipping the second to last bolt an emotional affair due to limited reach. | βeta? | |

βeta: Great route with some really good holds. Finding the jug on the crux to the right is a must. | ||
