Rockfax Description
Lots of interesting climbing on good rock - high in the grade. Start at a short flake-crack/chimney.
1) 4c, 16m. Overcome the short crack/chimney then climb a groove on the right to meet up with Mickledore Grooves. Belay here.
2) 4c, 20m. Move up to a slab on the wall above, then traverse left to twin cracks. Follow these to a corner and head up it to a stance.
3) 4b, 20m. Climb the corner to the top, moving out left and then back right near the top. © Rockfax
