Rockfax Description
The series of thin cracks up the left-hand side of the wall with a difficult section to pass the overhang. Great position. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The fantastic obvious(-ish) line whose crux graced the front of the 1991 South Wales guide. Start just right of the left-hand arĂȘte of the main face. Follow the crack through the overhang (flexibly), then traverse right along the break (joining Blackman's Pinch) to finish up the wide crack.

Andy Sharp and John Harwood (FFA) 08/Nov/1981.

βeta: The original line kept to the arete and wandered into the choss above with vague hopes of gear and a belay. Absolutely no need to wander off right except for the desire to stay intact.

βeta: Cleaned the top arete - to encourage a more direct line and avoid going into the bolts of blackmail's pinch. The gear is pretty useless above the break but it is not hard climbing
