Rockfax Description
The square-cut corner is climbed via the awkward left-hand crack to the top of the flakes. The right-hand crack is a good off-width problem. Continue up the groove passing the exposed chockstone to the easier upper gully and an exit. A finish out left as for Doncaster's Route is a more open and trickier option. © Rockfax

βeta: good route - just about worthy of two stars - I enjoyed it very much; friends who have only just started to lead this grade had a good time but said they found the start required some effort... | βeta? | |

βeta: Don't remember smearing at all, the bottom section was mostly a layback. I thought it was a really nice route, especially finishing outside the chockstone at the top. Only the easy middle section stops it getting a third star. | βeta? | |

βeta: Awkward moves, some of them smearing on slightly green grit as it doesn't get much sun. Tails off higher up. Didn't enjoy it. | ||
