Rockfax Description
From blocks below the slab, trend right to a slot then climb straight up (well-polished chips!) to a good ledge. Start on the right but trend left to an exposed exit. Another serious one. © Rockfax

βeta: After the slots, trending left on the slab seems far too easy. Meant to stay right/straight? Rockfax sounds like it's supposed to be as sketchy as Rooster, but it was much easier.

βeta: Wasn't as polished as I feared. I placed a runner in the crack on the right on the big ledge otherwise I had a deckable runout for the last moves. I thought that was off route, but from this rockfax guide (start on the right but trend left), I reckon I was okay!
