Rockfax Description
12m. A couple of pulls on cruel jams leads to a ledge for a breather, then an easier layback to finish. VS 4c for grit gurus. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Famous for its ability to chew up unsuspecting hands. On the overhanging side of Cubic Block is a short crack and a wide corner above and right, follow these to the top and you have done well.

Allan Austin, Brian Fuller. 26/Oct/1957.
