Rockfax Description
34m. A great classic. It can be done in two pitches. From the toe of the buttress, trend up and right to the rib and climb this past awkward moves to reach the base of the wider upper crack system. Climb this - tricky at the overhang - and finish up a short wall at the back of the final ledge. © Rockfax

βeta: Note to seconders: probably don't bother trying to carry up shoes on your belt if you're fancying that squeeze chimney. I tried and then dropped them down the crag as I desperately attempted to swap them to a different position so I could enter the squeeze.

βeta: Lots of loose blocks, have marked a surreptitious one with a big chalky x as it would otherwise be an obvious hand hold to use maybe 1/3 of the way up
