Rockfax Description
The left-hand crack in the wall gives an unrelenting pitch, though it is quite low in the grade. Beware of the possibility of unzipping wires if your belayer is on the set-back ledge. The crack is followed except for a short excursion to some grooves and ledges on the left at 2/3 height. © Rockfax
