Rockfax Description
A superb wall climb up the centre of the face. Move leftwards along a thin crack-line (peg) and then direct (thread) to a line of holds that lead out left below an overlap and then back right above it to meet a crack. Finish up the crack or to its left. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Superb 3 star wall climbing in a grand position. Mostly steady but the section past the peg requires some focus. Climb the thin crack then crank up the gain a ramp and thread above. Trend left on good holds, then right above the overlap, then left again to finish. Top pitch only, accessed by abseil.
