Rockfax Description
Great positions combined with adventurous terrain. Scramble leftwards out under the wall to a large block (the start of The Appian Way), then continue to a belay below the right-hand of two corners/grooves.
1) 4c, 18m. Climb the corner/groove and take a belay 6m below a roof at the top of the corner/groove.
2) 5b, 35m. Move out left and up a groove and slab to the arete. Climb the leaning wall above (small wires) to a tiny ledge and traverse right into the corner - strenuous. Climb the corner to a roof and traverse left to an exposed belay.
3) 4b, 20m. Move right and climb a corner, bulge and slab to the top. © Rockfax
