Rockfax Description
The perfect crack in the headwall is the highlight of this excellent pitch. The lower section of the original line has become vegetated. Climb Oxford and Cambridge Ordinary Route to the start of its traverse and then move up right to below the short steep crack of Oxford and Cambridge Direct Route. Follow a crack left and then head right to the fine crack in the headwall that leads to the top. © Rockfax
