Rockfax Description
Climb up to and then tackle the steep flake (not easy to protect) by sustained climbing until it is possible to mantelshelf onto a good ledge. Finish up the groove behind and wonder where the left wall of the one-time chimney went to! © Rockfax

Oliver Johnson2000	10 Sep, 2019	Show βeta βeta: The finger-crack at the bottom is trickier than a ‘Severe’ but there are plenty of holds on the flake until the (2nd) ledge. Above the ledge is the crux which helps if you have a decent reach (I’m 6ft 2in). Lots of room on the stance however is grassed over and sloping. To protect the retreat from the stance, I strongly suggest placing a hex in a crack above the stance, clip a loose sling into it whilst dismantling the anchor and scramble off. MIND THE BIG HOLE TO THE LEFT!	βeta?
