Rockfax Description
The wide hanging slot in the right side of the tower is a sod to enter and leads awkwardly to a breather on the ledge. The upper arete is easier but bolder and features a creaky flake. Finish on the right-hand side. Cruely undergraded at HVS in the past. © Rockfax

βeta: Guid book said E1. I was lied to. Found a dead bird half way in the off-width, possibly consider aid as it made me climb faster. | βeta? | |

βeta: The flake high on the arête can take a sling around it, held in place by a cam (2 cams) -- arguably less prone to ripping than the large nut at its base. I had all three bits! | ||

βeta: Found this route very tough, I personally think it’s harder than golden tower. The begging off width was greasy dirty and muddy at the back. This probably didn’t help the climbing. | βeta? | |

βeta: This route is desperate for HVS. Felt E2ish to me. The flake where you place the last piece of gear on the arete is loose and will likely rip the gear and come with you if you fluff the final bold and really quite tough for the position and grade and really reachy moves on the arete. If it did, you'd be lucky to climb or even walk again. Take care, its not stanage out there... | βeta? | |
