Rockfax Description
The square-cut hanging corner on the left side of the cave is a tough mission, the corner itself being especially technical. Start at the tree on the left edge of the cave.
Climb the wall just left of the tree until below the overhang. Now go left passing a thread and move up to gain a small ledge at the base of the corner. Difficult technical bridging up the corner is followed by a hard move left to gain a good hold. Continue traversing to a ledge and abseil station. © Rockfax
