Rockfax Description
A fantastic route which is just about worth E3. A low start is possible, giving one long pitch from the boulder beach.
1) 4c, 10m. Start as for Icarus.
2) 5c, 28m. Traverse left along the ledge until it runs out. A committing move left into the base of the hanging corner - usually wet - is followed by more sustained climbing up the corner to a plinth on the right. Easier climbing up the continuation of the groove leads to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Can be done with a direct start from down and left of the huge pillar / flake taken by the original start. I think it makes for a better line and less potential for rope difficulty this way and the belayer can watch their partner. | βeta? | |
