Rockfax Description
The longest route at Hound Tor follows the blunt overlap-infested arete on the left side of the face. Start below a ledge and cracks on the arete. From the ledge, make steep moves up the cracks. Balance up and pull through the overhang to much easier ground above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The rounded arête overlooking the car park. Start from a ledge at the base of the climb and move through the short layback corner to a small exposed ledge and then continue up through the rounded breaks to the top.
