Rockfax Description
Absorbing climbing up the steep sidewall that rises above the main slabs.
1) 22m. Climb the slab direct just to the right of the first pitch of Faith to reach a terrace and belay.
2) 5c, 32m. Wander up to the steeper face and access a tiny quartz ledge. Teeter along this leftwards then climb the slab leftwards - bold and hard - past a porthole, with more hard moves to the sanctuary of a ledge.
3) 5b, 14m. Move left to a groove in the arete, which is followed to a small ledge. Finish up the wall. © Rockfax
