Rockfax Description
The rib is bold in places to start with, but the gear improves with height. Eventually you reach a small groove. Climb this to a ledge and either belay and scramble off or continue up and right to belay as for Plimsole. © Rockfax

βeta: Nice route though it felt soft for 4c Maybe VS 4b at most though I feel HS4b would be more accurate, good gear throughout.

βeta: Didn\'t have a guidebook with this climb in but assuming this is it as did the first route left of Plimsole. Felt in the same grade as other S 4a\'s at Holyhead.
