A good and popular route. Long, sustained and interesting, although the approach/descent gully is unpleasant and the bolts on the route are quite spaced in places. The start is 5a to the left, and easier on the right. There is also a harder direct start avoiding the boulders in the gully, replacing the first three pitches with two at 6a and 5c on the right wall.
