Rockfax Description
A challenging pitch that makes a direct assault on the black bulges. Start as for Limbo beneath the black bulges. Climb to the ledges beneath the black bulges and locate a series of pockets that breach them on their left side. Difficult climbing and fiddly gear accesses the easier wall above and a horizontal break. Continue direct up a thin crack in a smooth, white wall and then via a small groove that leads to a belay and abseil point at a large rock anchor. © Rockfax

βeta: I have levered off the very loose jug rail and cleaned it all up. Just as well as there was a lot of unstable rock which came off very easily. No change in the grade. Maybe a standard E4 instead of a E3 or soft E4. | βeta? | |
