Rockfax Description
Pumpy climbing up the crack cleaving the wall. Where it thins, go direct, runners and holds keep appearing. Escaping out left before the final section is more like a stiff HVS. From the ledge select a way on/off. © Rockfax

βeta: Desperate for HVS, even escaping left, as the crux was, for me, below the split. Straight up much more logical, and not much harder. Very pumpy for a first route on a freezing day.

βeta: if you pull left you will miss the crux and up to there pretty strait forward and not very pumpy, if you like jams!

βeta: Lovely jamming. Very hard work at the top though - had to slink off left for the easier finish.

βeta: The gear is too good for E1, nice and steady till the top where it really kicks in. Don't hang around too long or you'll get pumped!

βeta: fanatastiv jamming to leaning headwall, but i spent so much time trying to lace it with gear i was to knackered to pull through the moves when i finally went for it and took a nice big fall on to solid gear. I skanked of left at HVS 5a in the end

βeta: Solid jamming with rests until halfway, then go for top ! Superb and safe. No in situ birds nest this weekend.

βeta: The direct finish is simply superb. Very pumpy climbing, with some technical foot work. There may be birds nesting in the recess at the very top - beware!
