Rockfax Description
A great direct line with deceptive moves. Move up to the big niche and leave this on its left. Increasingly awkward moves lead up the groove above. Finish with an often-dirty mantel to reach the fixed lower-off. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Quality climbing, first right of and overhang to gain a capped corner, exit leftwards to gain a hanging slab and good ledge. Climb the groove above, boldy at first but good gear appears shortly (small cams, wires/RPs useful) passing some shatted rock on the left before an often dusty finishing ledge is gained. Lower off a tree or exit up the loose soil slope above, a pull out rope maybe in situ.

FA. Barrie Dixon, Neville Taylor 16/Aug/1997.

βeta: Really good climb. The overhanging niche is easy compared to the thoroughly awkward groove above.
