Rockfax Description
Good physical climbing, despite the rather vegetated appearance from below. Start by scrambling up the slope, past the base of the huge corner, to a belay below a layback flake. Layback the flake to a sloping ledge and then enter the left-leaning corner, which succumbs to good old-fashioned udging. Abseil off. © Rockfax

βeta: A fun route split in 2. Great gear and nice moves on the lower 2 thirds. Red hex, offset and red cam made the crux on the overhang and slab feel much better. Thanks to JRS for donating the nut. Much appreciated. New tat recommended to replace the lower off. Pegs have seen much better days. Time for a New bolted lower off? | βeta? | |

βeta: Good proper HVS trad climbing. A bit less vegetation on it now thanks to Marti, "The Gardner", Hallett. Don't be cocky (like me) and second it in trainers, the smeary slab at the top will make your eyes water. | βeta? | |
