Rockfax Description
A sport-style single pitch up the wall right of the diagonal break of Amanita Muscarina's third pitch. Start from the bolted belay at the start of the third pitch of Tour de France that is best reached via an awkward abseil from the top of the ramp or by starting up the lower pitches of Tour de France. Protection is provided by a collection of bolts, pegs and a large cam. On the left take the thin wall past a break and up a crack to a ledge (cam). The wall above leads to a thin break from where a move utilising a slot reaches a sequence of hard moves right to finish at a bolted belay. Abseil off or top out. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Fine sustained climbing up a blank wall. Since 2014 there is a proper lower off (reachable by abbing off the railings), 5 glue-in bolts and a 2 bolt hanging belay.(bolts provided by BMC) There is a natural peg that can be easily backed-up and take a couple of large cams for the easy climbing below the peg.

βeta: Someone has recently added 2 bolts in apparently solid rock on the ledges above the route so you can now abseil directly down the route without using the railings to get to the hanging belay.

βeta: Definitely 7c+ not E6. Doesn't deserve E6 for placing a cam on the hvs crack at the bottom...
