Rockfax Description
An impressive pitch up the blunt arete. The start has changed (due to rockfall) but is now possible via a powerful campus style sequence. A long stickclip is needed for the first bolt which is very high. © Rockfax

βeta: Bring your brave pants or a clip stick for the first bolt, not hard climbing but you wouldn't want something to break because you'd soon follow suit. Some attention when pulling your rope depending on the tide might save you from a wet rope.

βeta: One of the best routes at Portland, surely this should have been given 3 stars in the new guide?

βeta: Superb route but needs another bolt in the start. Somebody will fall off the move to 1st bolt and break a leg!

βeta: Superb moves but the dusty holds can make it desperate in the wrong conditions. Keep going on the last move.
