Rockfax Description
60m. An unsung classic with a superb, well-protected second pitch. Start near the centre where the buttress reaches maximum height below a fine thin crack which runs almost the entire height, cutting the final roof on the right.
1. 40m 4b Start at some thin quartz streaks near the left end of a clean area of slab where the thin crack begins. The crack leads steeply at first to a belay at the foot of the upper crack.
2. 20m 4b Continue up the thin crack to the roof which is turned on the right.
