Rockfax Description
The arching corner is a magnificent line and is climbed in two very long and sustained pitches. Some big cams and nuts are needed to protect the first pitch. Start at the base of the corner.

1) 5a, 42m. Ascend the corner until it starts to steepen and widen. Climb the wide crack to a flake from where easier climbing gains a big ledge on the left and a belay.
2) 5b, 50m. Climb up the arching corner and its subsidiary with good and plentiful gear until all most at its end. Make a bold traverse right, across the slab to a steep red pillar (peg with micro cam backup). Climb up on good holds past a small ledge, and then head diagonally right to the roof above, and pass it at a weakness on the right. Finish carefully up an easy groove to reach the pre-placed rope.
2a) 4c, 50m. An easier but poorer finish moves left around the arete from the belay ledge and then climbs up the wall above the edge of the arete on big, but at times dubious, holds to a grassy final 10m. © Rockfax
