Rockfax Description
The original route of the wall. Climb up the flake and crack on the right-hand side of the pedestal to its top. Move left then climb the roof on big holds to the tricky final groove of Sunbeam. A more direct finish is 5a. © Rockfax

βeta: Really dirty and loose at the top now! Last post says cleaned in May 03 - just shows how much changes in two years in these parts... | βeta? | |

βeta: Excellent route but high in the grade; the start is pushy and the peg protection in the middle "stacked blocks" section a bit worrying. Couldn't work out whether to finish up the bold and somewhat dirty groove on the right (looked technicaly OK) or the well-protected fingertip layaway to the left. After a couple of lobs would suggest that the latter is solid 5a at least. | βeta? | |
