Rockfax Description
A mini-classic, intense and varied, packing a lot of climbing into a short distance. Gain the undercut flake with difficulty and follow it to its end where scary friction and pebble moves lead leftwards up a ramp to easy ground. Best climbed when the boggy area below the route is in prime condition, making falling off even less desirable (but safer) than normal. © Rockfax

βeta: Suggest a pre prepped nut nest at the foot of the crag, for your belayer to use to get a running start if a catch is needed. Saved my ass today... | βeta? | |

βeta: Scary onsight, especially when lack of chalk, lots of nervous sweating and gusts of wind endeavour to drag you off the tenuous smears! Awesome route, worth every star. | βeta? | |
