Rockfax Description
The polished line of tiny holds leading up right to the break is a desperate, fingery problem for most, and the pit makes it potentially nasty to fall from low down - f6c this far. Above, it relents and follows the sustained bubbly wall left past a tricky thread. Traversing in from Flake and Pillar is worth E3 5c. © Rockfax

βeta: Meanwhile, back in the real world... E3 6a (without mats) and never anything else. An obvious, crimpy, and pretty neat sequence to the break. Beyond that it's pretty committing and gutsy, but the wall has it's hidden delights - not least that it makes good use of the eponymous bubbles! Deserves **, none of the above symbols, and reachy + pumpy ones instead.

βeta: Still a bit dirty, upper wall quite tough, didn't 'relent' that much.
