Rockfax Description
Interesting and varied climbing up the wall just right of the vegetated gully, with a memorable top pitch. Start at the base of an easy rake that leads up right to a large pinnacle.
1) 14m. Climb the wall to meet a shallow corner and climb this to a stance just above.
2) 13m. Move up the wall to a small ledge. Traverse left before making a couple of awkward moves up a short steep crack/groove to a large ledge - belay on the left.
3) 4a, 20m. Move back right and make steep pulls over an overlap to easier-angled ground. Take the blunt rib to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Can be done in a oner with 60s by the confident. At the big ledge, making an exposed step back right is the most fun way, despite being a touch artificial. Newish ab point just to right (looking out) of top, which is probably 40m down gully to the start of the route. Take care walking to it.

βeta: Size 0.5 green cam protects the crux perfectly. Some big spiders on the second pitch.
