Rockfax Description
A route of three halves! A superb slate-like crack, a spooky wall and a stiff pull through the roof. Follow the right-hand crack in the flat wall on good edges until you can make a move up where the crack doglegs. Climb this line to a ledge. Tackle the thin crack above the ledge on the right. Once committed, step left to the base of a slender groove. Move back slightly right past a letterbox to a junction with Sickle below the roof. Arrange gear and move up and left to a weakness. Make a stiff pull to an undercut flake. Layback up the right side of the flake to easier ground and a spike belay. Abseil off or continue up Sickle. © Rockfax
