Rockfax Description
The astounding axe-edge arete may by the most impressive piece of grit in the Peak, imagine being up there! Gain the arete from 8m up Route 1 via a tricky mantel and desperate leftwards traverse. The terrifying final section is out there and proves to be only marginally easier. Well-named indeed. © Rockfax

βeta: After a few recent ascents of AWD, a lot of pebbles are now missing from the traverse... it's potentially more difficult than it used to be. However if anyone is keen, I cleaned it up... | βeta? | |

βeta: Cleaned and practised before leading. No exact date Jun/ Jul 97. Clipped the old aid bolts below the prow, so technically an E grade lower! The hooter went off at Fletcher's factory just after the crux, which caused slightly nervous giggles:) | βeta? | |
