Rockfax Description
Follow the straight crack as it gradually widens. Difficulties escalate to a wide and awkward exit. Big gear is useful. © Rockfax

βeta: Horribly thrutchy, but par for the course for a wide grit crack.

βeta: bog standard HS, good jams all the way up, take a big piece of gear for the top or alternatively you can place a small one deep in the crack.

βeta: Think it is on the hard side of HS, defintely a tussle at the top. Good fun though.

βeta: It's severe in my guide! Severe is probably ok, maybe HS, never VS, jamming and wedging techniques obligatory
