Rockfax Description
The big corner has a hard bouldery start and a superb, pumpy finish. The first bolt is a krab-snapper so use a long sling. © Rockfax

βeta: Finally managed to get the boulder problem at the start (pre-clipped up to 2nd draw to avoid smashing into my belayer). Then managed to climb up to the roof. Roof was soaking wet, chickened out and clip sticked the last few bolts. Good holds (even wet), but hard to find. Should go but need good mental game...! Dislodged a fist sized flake from the left side of the roof, so be careful | ||

βeta: it is buckets at the end but just after the roof they become hard to find and not quite as 'buckety' as you'd like. Fell off this from these last moves whilst having the anchors right at eye level.... very annoying and very pumpy... good 7a. | ||
