Rockfax Description
A fine crack climb which provides one of the real trad gems in Water-cum-Jolly, pumpy and quite awkward to protect. It starts on the lower left toe of the buttress and follows the prominent crack on the right to a lower-off. Good value. © Rockfax

FFA. Keith Myhill 1970. Together with Ping Pong, this ascent marked the change from aid climbing to free climbing. FAA. Graham West, Barry Roberts 1959.

βeta: Thought the middle section was a bit goey for HVS with the gear placements a bit iffy, felt it was more like the old guide book grade of E1 5b. The bat 1/8/06

βeta: Bit thin for HVS and 5a - I say it's E1 5b albeit the lower end of the grade.
