Rockfax Description
A scary route that breaches the roof that every other route avoids. Start at a big flake.
1) 6a, 30m. Move up to a steep groove and climb it until a wall leads you up and slightly right to a ledge on Trilon. Shuffle left to below a smooth upper groove and climb this to good holds on Shadow Wall. Move left to belay on ledges below the big roof.
2) 6a, 17m. A line of undercuts marks the strenuous way through the roof to an exciting transition onto the headwall. Bold and exposed climbing on worrying rock leads to the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
P1 (6a) 35m. start on the right hand side of the main face. Climb up to a huge flake. From here pull up and left to the base of a groove, climb this past a hollybush to a tricky exit. Climb spikes to the bottom of a slim (rp) groove. Thin technicalities gain the belay above on ledges beneath the roof of P2.
P2 (6a) 20m. Pull wildy on undercuts, to tricky moves establishing yourself on the headwall. A few more moves up the vague groove complete this classic.
