Rockfax Description
The crack in the centre of the wall cuts through an overlap and is a well-protected gem. The best in the quarry and the equal of Millstone's HVS classics, well almost! A nice first HVS. © Rockfax

βeta: Good for a first HVS lead - this is easier and better protected than a lot of VS's.
