Rockfax Description
A tremendous sport route that features a tough pull over the overhang and is topped off with a technical face crack. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The third full sport route on this section. The obvious crack in the headwall is gained via a tricky move over the roof. 'The' route of the quarry and a strong candidate for best Fr.7a on sandstone. If the bolts are too far apart, feel free to add more at your own expense.
