Rockfax Description
A long line, on mostly sound rock. Start below a long vertical borehole strike. Climb direct past the borehole strike and continue past a ledge to under an overhang. Pass the overhang on its right and gain a ledge (lower-off/abseil station here). Follow the wall above to a lower-off at the top of the cliff. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
A good, mostly sound route, seeking a way between existing sport and trad routes. An interesting mix of climbing keeping independent all the way.
Start directly below the borehole at the bolt, right of the three green streaks and 'Passing the Buck'. Take the borehole direct on small holds to the first rubble ledge. Cross with care and climb the short wall immediately right of the overhang. Cross diagonally left above the overhang with trepidation to the base of the clean wall. Climb the wall directly on good holds to the next ledge and second clean wall. Good climbing again leads to the lower off.

βeta: Wye valley sport 3 describes this incorrectly. It's called between the lines for a reason. 1. Up the borehole on a few nice moves and cross the scruffy ledge. 2. then take the short corner right of the overhang and trend left above. Go direct over ledges and straight up the clean faces on great rough rock. A nice more direct line. | βeta? | |
