Rockfax Description
One of the valley's best single pitches that features interesting moves on good rock. Start at a series of very shallow grooves below a slab. Follow the grooves to the slab then make some thin moves across it to a spike at its apex. Pull up the groove in the steep wall above and use a good hold on the left to gain a slanting corner. Follow the corner to a ledge, and finish up the easier wall and grooves above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A classic route and low in the grade. Climb up to and then leftwards across the oval slab. Follow a groove until moves left can be made to a big hold. Mantel onto this and follow grooves to the top.
