Rockfax Description
1) 5a, 10m. Excellent. Climb the steep, green and awkward groove in the left wall of Fat Man's Chimney to a good stance.
2) 5a, 10m. The steep cracks above lead to a ledge on the left and a technical finish back right. Full value for the grade. © Rockfax
FA. Alf Bridge, I.M.Waller, J.L.Longland 1930. Left unrecorded for 15 years due to its difficulty!.
