Rockfax Description
A stunning, action-packed line involving a great deal of difficult climbing with a high crux. The streaked ramp is slow to dry and can be dirty. Start beneath the base of the ramp. Climb the wall past a bolt to the ramp. At the top of the ramp make blind moves up the steep wall, past two pegs, to reach the upper of two breaks. Move a little left then climb the fine pocketed wall rightwards, past a thread, to an intimidating perch beneath the roof. Traverse left (peg over lip - difficult to clip) and pull over the roof with difficulty, to a short wall and the top. © Rockfax
