Rockfax Description
Rounded and bold. Start on the right and teeter leftwards up the slab until just right of the chimney. Pull through the overlap, rightwards (good runners at last) then back left, with difficulty and a poor pocket. Continue delicately up the slab to a large ledge and easy finish. A direct start is a bolder f5+. © Rockfax

βeta: like mr reeve, i wasn't sure about the gear over the roof. when placing it you're in a groundfall position on relatively poor holds. the traverse out along the groove is certainly not trivial either. overall i thought this was a very serious route that felt harder than the given grade: "mild terror" kind of covers my feelings. | βeta? | |

βeta: Was expecting this to be one of those 'stanage' E4s (like say the nearby slap and spittle) so it came as a wee bit of a shock when it wasn't! I didn't think the gear was that great, tough to place as you have to lock off to put in the first cam, which I thought was a tad flared (this may be my perception based in panic induced negativity mind you). The top wall has it's fair share of interest too. Good moves throughout however, well worth doing! | βeta? | |

βeta: are you allowed gear in the chimney you 'almost' get to at this grade? looked at it in the rain and it sort of looked like a logical thing to do. | βeta? | |
