Rockfax Description
Classic. Start up Brown's Crack, then follow the ramp left and tackle the crack that splits the bulge. Well protected but quite taxing. It may be the best VS on the crag, who knows? © Rockfax

βeta: A great little route with a nicely positioned crux that's steep but very well protected and with excellent holds. I thought only 4c but definitely 3 stars. | βeta? | |

βeta: The final steep crack can be desperate without the 'right' approach! | βeta? | |
