Rockfax Description
A handsome route that gets the evening sun in the height of summer. Start just left of the dry-stone wall by a stile.
1) 4b, 16m. Move up onto the quartz block and go up a short distance into a small groove. Follow the groove slightly rightwards to a ledge. Move up to another smaller ledge with awkward belays.
2) 4b, 23m. Move up the slab to the lower of two overlaps. Pass both overlaps on their right to reach a groove which is followed to another large ledge.
3) 4c, 17m. Move left along the ledge then diagonally left across a slab to another ledge below a wall with a crack up its centre - this is The Chain. Climb the groove on the right-hand side of the tombstone to a block, then make hard moves to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: P2, Our guidebook said go right of the overlap then traverse past the next one. Note that it means traverse right! Both directions were a bit mossy and I went left running it out massively all the way to another route I think. | βeta? | |
