Rockfax Description
Delicate and low in the grade - but precarious and scary! Climb the shallow groove just to the left of the nose (technical crux), then swing right and up to a deep break. From good runners, teeter up the bold rib to the final easy arete. © Rockfax

FA. Peter Biven 1956.

βeta: Very good route from start to finish, get a small cam in at the break and go for it, bold mid section but positive holds, my second E1

βeta: Can get a okish small nut in the horizontal on the rib. Still feels bold though.

βeta: middle part has good deck out potential , the small cam placement is psychological protection only

βeta: Very easy for E1 - crux is first two or three moves. The moves up the rib are quite easy once you commit to them. The finish is great!

βeta: A great route. Got a tiny cam into the horizontal on the rib - for peace of mind only. The moves up the rib are pretty straightforward - and a little scary.

βeta: Nice route, just get on it and go for it, don't watch someone ekse lead it first the sparsity of gear makes it look a frightener.
