Rockfax Description
The open scoop gives nice technical climbing past lots of rather tired small-wire slots to a leftwards exit. The climb was once described as "being a bit like a well-protected Green Death" - well, it is a groove, in a quarry. © Rockfax

βeta: Very techical but not pumpy. Delicate footwork, smearing and bridging, very delightful moves! Seconded this but wouldn't have liked to lead it! My partner put very poor gear and if we would have fallen off the crux he would have decked. Need to know what you're doing on this one.

βeta: Awesome route. Requires decisive footwork and a determination not to fall. I guess it gives an idea of what hard climbing might be like as one progresses through the grades.

βeta: Poor rps at the start then better gear inc Friend 0 in a slot on the right. Crux is getting into the final groove.
