Rockfax Description
500m. An excellent, long route with some good rock climbing and an enjoyable scramble to finish. There is some loose rock towards the top of the technical pitches but otherwise the quality is superb. The route is bolted, except for the easier sections of the ridge, so bringing a couple of cams isn't a bad idea.
1) 5b, 2) 5b, 3) 5c, 4) 5b, 5) 5a, 6) 5a, 7) 5c.
From the end of the pitch 7, scramble along the ridge, past the occasional bolt, staying mainly on the right of the crest. Just below the final section to the summit there is a steep pitch of 5c, which comes as quite a shock after a long spell of easy ground! After this, continue on easily to the Crochues south summit. © Rockfax
