Rockfax Description
150m. A superb route which culminates in two fantastic, steep pitches.
1) 5a, 1a) 5c. Climb directly up the steep wall and slab above to reach the second belay directly.
2) 5c, 3) 5b, 4) 6a, 5) 6a.
Descent - When abseiling back down it is possible to reach the floor from the fourth belay using 50m ropes. © Rockfax

βeta: Well bolted with shiny Fixé glue-in ring bolts. Good route. The upper pitches have ab stations (2 bolts linked with chain) and the lower pitches have twin bolts at the belays but not linked, as you don't ab the lower pitches.

βeta: you should run pitches 2 and 3 together, they are short and easy, its a waste of time taking the extra belay.
