Rockfax Description
The classic adventure not to be missed. Start up the right side of the arete and pull round onto the slab. Traverse left across the face (carefully) to reach the large open flake. Romp up the flake to a large hole in the roof and squeeze and huff your way through this to finish. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start round to the right of the buttress up Yoyo until it becomes possible to traverse left onto the front face just above the overhang. Continue moving leftward and slightly upward to reach the staircase-shaped flake crack splitting the buttress and follow this to under the overhang.
Now all you have to do is squirm your way up the little hole at the back! Fun at first, but not once you get stuck...

βeta: Start is a little strenuous especially for the short. Rest of the route is absolutely amazing. | βeta? | |

βeta: Hilarious to watch; dreadful to do. Like being born again but with more screaming. Not one for the larger climber unless their belayer has the fire service on stand-by. | βeta? | |
