Rockfax Description
The first of the steeper sport routes has some excellent moves. Start at the diagonal crack. Nip up the easy crack and then tackle the sustained leaning wall on good but at times hard-to-spot holds, passing a good pocket on the steep bit. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The left-hand of three bolt lines on the steep part of the cliff above the beach. Features a famous hidden finger pocket. Seems to be getting harder due to crumbling holds. Rebolted May 2012

βeta: Feels 7a if you keep direct. Can't be this grade if you use the huge footholds out right on Pearl harbour as feels like you've escaped the crux!
