Rockfax Description
An excellent line with a stern start and steady mid-section. Start below a prominent right-facing groove with a rock ledge at its base. Climb the groove on its right wall to a break. Continue up the groove and wall to below an arete left of vegetation. Finish up the arete and groove to a fixed belay and abseil point. © Rockfax

βeta: Great route. There is a fixed belay at the top from where you can abseil on a single 50m rope (25m abseil so take care on the last bit). | βeta? | |
