Rockfax Description
A brilliant route with a bit of everything and best enjoyed as one mega 50m pitch. Start at the base of the gully, as for Christmas Curry/Micah Eliminate. Either solo or rope climb the first pitch of CC/ME directly up the polished gully/chimney to a belay directly below the right-hand side of the arete. The finger-crack up the short corner is desperate, so come in from the right and move left to the arete and climb this via a steep crack to a sloping ledge. A short groove leads up to another ledge (possible belay to reduce rope drag). Struggle up the wide crack above then move right to V-notch in the arete. A precarious move over this leads to easier climbing up the arete. © Rockfax

βeta: A fantastic route, but tough for the grade. The lower fingercrack/corner is surely 5c and tough to onsight. Offwidth is also perplexing! Brilliant climbing throughout and very sustained.

βeta: The current Rockfax description says to skip the finger crack at the start. Though it is avoidable, and undoubtedly harder than the rest of the route (The moves are pushing 5C), I thought it was some of the best climbing. It would be a shame to miss it out IMO!

βeta: There are currently Jackdaws nesting in the flake. Backed off and had to leave a wire and quickdraw behind. Will pay for postage for their return, please PM me.
