Rockfax Description
Climb the buttress, passing an overhang early on, to an awkward leftwards exit under the final roof. Intimidating but not too bad. © Rockfax

βeta: The top overhang doesn’t inspire confidence. A very large block sat on an iffy flake. Be careful!

βeta: I defy anyone to get over the roof with style. My undignified grovelling won me no technique awards. Probably VS as the gear is right above you - but there are many, many easier HVS's.

βeta: Can't see why people think this is HVS. Sure, two 5a sections but both short, the first low down and the second well protected. VS 5a seems spot on to me.

βeta: The definitive guide is nearer the mark at HVS 5a although the top crux might deserve 5b, agree worth a least one star.
