Rockfax Description
Interesting climbing on a slightly bold and wandering line. Begin below a pair of sticking out concretions, just left of where the approach meets the base of the crag. Head up the wall, passing the concretions, to a ledge at 7m on the left. Now ascend the wall (not leftwards) past a flake to another concretion. Traverse leftwards to the large tree. © Rockfax

βeta: I certainly haven’t been climbing much this year, but found this route quite testing and brave for E1. I really didn’t want to take a fall at the second lot of concretions!

βeta: Gear was spaced and looked a bit shit. So falling would not be advised.
