Rockfax Description
An impressive and bold line tackling the nose of the buttress. Climb to a short thin crack and move up to gain a small ledge (poor peg). Traverse right immediately to reach a scoop. Take the wall above it to gain a slab. A shallow groove leads to a horizontal crack and short slab to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: This is not the original climb of Prodigal Sons FA by Ross and Peare 1988... After the crack on reaching the peg, the climb moves RIGHT into an open scoop (crux) . The Current FRCC Borrowdale guide book writers could not lead it so they managed to top-rope something else by moving Left. The description of the route in the 2000 Borrowdale edition was correct. | ||
