Rockfax Description
Although a little polished, this Chee Tor classic offers great climbing with two distinct and contrasting crux sections. Climb the groove to a rest and thread. Delicate moves right allow access to the upper groove which is left with a hard pull past good gear to excellent finishing holds. © Rockfax

βeta: Small side pull type hold loose as you exit the top groove. I removed the most loose bit but there are two other bits which will work loose soon.

βeta: First half is a bit rattley but with lots of gear, nice traverse into superb rock and out there finish.

βeta: Lower is better to start the traverse, and save a bit for the moves to the break.

βeta: The left hand jug ~5-6m up is loose. Seems keyed in and OK to pull on.
