Rockfax Description
One of the original lines here, and still a terrific one. It takes the central line of grooves between the caves, in the centre of the wide buttress. Climb up to an overhang at around 11m, then move left onto a good ledge - possible belay. Easier moves then gain the foot of a steep groove, which is followed to a bigger ledge on the right (possible belay). Climb the cracked groove above to a good exit. © Rockfax
