Rockfax Description
A good extension to any of the Tower Face routes. The tiny but intense left-hand arete of the face feels bold and very exposed. The fall potential is daunting but remember it used to be HVS! © Rockfax

βeta: Ended up totally gripped on this route did but loved it all the same, should get more stars, maybe they should switch the grades of Tower Face Direct and this though.

βeta: Definately intimadating leaving the ledge. A tricky little number but a real gem, probably worth more than one star.

βeta: Worth E2 or at least a reachy symbol. As much hard climbing as on Tower Face direct and lot more exposed.
