Rockfax Description
The pillar is climbed direct with tricky moves to leave the ground and a crux off the ledge. It is easier but a bit bolder above. © Rockfax

βeta: Very much a soft touch in my view. More like VS than HVS. The supposed crux moves off the ledge are in fact well protected both by gear at foot level and by cams in the break higher up (a long stretch for the vertically challened admittedly). But very enjoyable climbing.
