Rockfax Description
A very good pitch. Begin at the large open corner. Take the corner for 10m to a thread and transfer to a ledge to its left (peg). Follow the small rib above until moves rightward reach a thread (not in place) just left of the base of the Yr Herwehla narrow corner/groove high on the face. From a foot-ledge above, (peg) locate a small, thin, left-leading crack and make some intricate moves up it and the wall above to reach a good break (some shattered rock here). Go right 2m and then up easy angled rock and some flakes to a belay on The Easy Way Down ledges. It is possible to descend from the Microserf lower-off after the hardest climbing. © Rockfax

βeta: Death block trundled, and a few other fairly large loose pieces of rock removed. Thread looks good and fresh.

βeta: There's an absolute death block teetering, ready to fall about 2/3rds up the route, roughly in line with where Microserf's headwall starts

βeta: There's only one fixed thread which confusingly is the one in the description above as not being in place. New cord has been added

βeta: A climber fell from the first thread on this route and the tat may now be compromised (friction damage) - can the crag moderator please review or ideally replace?
