This line has seen much attention over the last 30 years but had yet to see a free ascent. Starting on the seaward face, the climb turns the arete at a flake giving access to the crack of Gloy.

A series of compression moves leads to a small wire placement (which was preplaced for this ascent) before the crux sequence, after which the climb finishes on the seaward arete in a fine position.

Martin named the route Skyfall after a cam placement failure on lead resulted in a vicious ground fall. Despite no mats being used Martin was luckily able to walk away without any major injuries.

Martin regards the route as a fantastic challenge and deserving of future attention and estimates the grade to be E7 6b.

Martin would like to say a big thank you to the Barn Climbing Centre (Milton Abbot) especially Brian for the continued support.
