Rockfax Description
A hugely entertaining struggle in the very bowels of the rock. Under the arch, on the left, is a slab that leads to a tube and daylight. Head up the slab past a good thread before getting stuck in to squirming through the cave. It gets fairly tight, but there are good threads to retreat from if you get shut down. Best not to over packā¦ © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
An entertaining struggle up the slab within the left side of the cave. Follow the slab diagonally to a subsidiary cave and thread. Enter the cave and wriggle towards the light. Alternatively move the route to Pembroke, up the grade two or three notches, give it ten stars for quality and write tedious adventure stories about it. The larger framed will have to abseil off a tat before the top.
R McElligott, R Hoare 1984.

βeta: Some rock broke off under the thread, but maybe it makes no difference as it probably wasn't adding to the structure before anyway. | βeta? | |

βeta: Seriously, the chimney is thight. I am 72kg and 1.83m. So a bit tall and a bit skinny. I was pressing with my chest against the wall. And I had to take stuff off my harness to be able to pass through. It was still hard work and I nearly give up a couple of times. | βeta? | |

βeta: This is not climbing. I give it -3* for the cold (-1*), dark (-1*) and perpetual damp (-1*). If you are going to insist on listing it in a log book, be sure to note it is the worst climb in the UK. | βeta? | |
