Rockfax Description
The corner bounding the right-hand side of the slab gives an technically interesting little climb which takes as many runners as you can throw at it. Finish direct. © Rockfax

βeta: Quality moves, top end of VS especially if a little damp. There is gear by the bucket load.

βeta: [May 2002] The corner crack and overhang will take plenty of gear so make sure you have at least a few runners left for the top [though this eases off greatly and I only needed a couple of pieces] If you're pushing you grade , i would highly recommend this is a great stepping stone to HVS country.
