Rockfax Description
Classic. Climb the ledgy left arete then balance right into the beckoning groove. Up this delicately to ledges out right then step right again for a gritty finish. Harder for the very short. © Rockfax

βeta: A bit of a bold start but then the gear keeps on coming. Eleven - count ‘em! - pieces and most were bomber. Just a 90° 00 Mastercam at half height and a cluster of 3 pieces near the top of the ramp that I thought were slower-downers rather than stoppers. The route is a little dirty but the holds and placements were all clean. A cracking route. | βeta? | |

βeta: Led it 20/03/05 and found loads of good gear on it. Easy VS at most. Technique not brawn required. Wasn't too sandy either. | ||

βeta: Unusual for Denham in that it actually has reasonable gear (locals usually TR most routes, hence all the belay posts along the top). Nice route. | βeta? | |
