Rockfax Description
A strenuous and sustained pitch though with good protection throughout. High in the grade. Climb the steep finger-cracks to the small ledge on Pisa. Finish up the easier cracks above. The lower crack is hard for for the strong and the central crack is hard for the weak. © Rockfax

βeta: It would be churlish to argue with the calls of 5c, not least because it is tough for that grade. Puritans will be reassured to note that enjoyment plays no role in this route whatsoever. | βeta? | |

βeta: Definitely value for money and much harder than it looks from the ground. Gear is great but at some points it's just too hard to stop and place it. I thought the bottom crack was the crux, I must of half climbed up it then climbed down it about half a dozen time before actually commiting to the moves. | ||

βeta: The first crack is quite technical 5c? much harder than any of the embankment finger cracks. The top finger crack is hideous (off fingers! for skinny fingered folk like myself) my technique is lacking and i couldn't make any progress. | βeta? | |
