Rockfax Description
The left-trending line through the overhangs is a spectacular route, featuring strenuous climbing and good protection.
1) 5c, 25m. Gain the flake-line and climb it to the overhangs. Traverse left (peg) and pull into a groove with difficulty. Move up and right to an arete (peg) and climb it and a wall to a stance.
2) 5a, 12m. The overhang above the stance to easier ground. Best avoided because of loose rock. © Rockfax
