Rockfax Description
An impressive climb that is endowed with good holds. Start below the upper end of a low, left-trending crack in the centre of the wall. Climb steeply through the lower bulge via a horizontal crack at 3m to better holds on the wall above. Continue to a left-trending crack and take the wall above it rightwards to a peg. Trend left up the easier wall to the large break of The Smile and finish up the thin finger-cracks above (as for The Smile). © Rockfax
