Rockfax Description
Varied and sustained climbing with an exciting final bulge. Start up Cave Route Right and at the overhang at 8m step right to the line of bolts. Fine climbing up the walls and bulges gains the lower-off beneath the main overhang. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Is it 7c+ or 8a? The debate goes on, as it has for the last couple of decades. Climb it and you decide.
