Rockfax Description
A monumental off-width battle, which you're probably climbing the wrong way. The grade is meaningless for most people. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A desperate off-width which is hard work but strangely enjoyable!

P Smoker 1959.

βeta: The massive concrete flakes at the top are really loose. Myself and another climber knocked some off to the ground. If you're going to do this make sure there's nobody beneath you once you're past the sodding crack
