Rockfax Description
An elegant line up the eye-catching tall section of wall on the right side of the face. Start at a belay just right of a 2m high pinnacle. Gain a series of sloping ledges and follow these leftwards to a spike. Head up to below an overhang and step right to a slim groove. Climb it and its right wall to a break. Now move up to and over a small overhang and finish leftwards up the final wall. © Rockfax
