Rockfax Description
Good well protected climbing. From a jug, climb leftwards to a thin crack then up the centre of the wall to the overhang. A long reach from jams and a rounded exit overcome the final roof. © Rockfax

βeta: As morpho as they come - purely and entirely dependent on reach. I presume the grade is an average - 5b if you can reach, 6b(+?) if you can't. I couldn't (5'8" / +1 AI), a pity as the rest of the route was good, steady, fun.
