Rockfax Description
One of the more popular hard routes at the Tor. There are several methods to pull around the bottom roof - all are hard and powerful. Some lower off at the first break above the roof for an 8a tick, but the wall above is superb and considerably easier (7c), to finish at a lower-off in a scoop. © Rockfax
FA. Andy Pollitt 1986. The initial roof had a huge block on it which made the route much easier. Reclimbed in 1990 by Ben Moon after this block had fallen off..
