Rockfax Description
A pitch that usually pulls in a crowd of viewers on the suspension bridge. Start on a good ledge 5m right of the arete below a pocketed crystal crack and just right of a vegetated groove. Move up the crack and then head left to a small groove that leads to a ledge system at 10m. Head left to the arete and make some tricky moves to a wide, pocketed runnel. Take the runnel to a horizontal break and move right into an easier finishing corner. Belay and abseil post on the left. © Rockfax

βeta: Great climb, massive threads just before the bold move(s) making it feel very safe. A pigeon flew out and hit me in the face which was fun! - no sign of nesting birds on the route itself, but a fair few birds on and around the cliff. | βeta? | |
