Rockfax Description
Follow the strenuous thin crack in the wall to a possible stance - block belay. Pull boldly over a bulge and climb the wide crack/groove (big gear) to the capping roof, which is climbed on the left (as for Crack and Corner) on surprising holds. © Rockfax

βeta: If I was doing this again I would avoid the first pitch, I found it really strenuous and filthy. First pitch was dogged but the second pitch really makes the climb worth it, it's very enjoyable | βeta? | |

βeta: Fairly sketch mantle after the first crack but well protected throughout. A wonderful hidden pocket in the final crack. | ||

βeta: Good route, almost got the last but but missed a hold and couldn't get my leg over. Fab jug in the crack for your right hand and fun move. | ||

βeta: Both pitches felt 4c - the first crack being strenous, the final one being just plain hilarious. Good gear throughout, no sign any any "nasty" wall | βeta? | |
