Rockfax Description
12m. Facing the southern entrance to the cleft is a fine climb up the thin crack and through the bulges above. Easier than it looks, apart from the start. It is often green. © Rockfax

βeta: WOW - amazing 3 star route! But on-sight felt like a sandbag at 5a! On reflection, if you are comfortable HVS, confident VS, then you should get good gear in before 5b moves! I can see why people say should be HVS, however the gear is really good so VS fair! But no way 5a, not without beta, or finding exactly the right sequence. Even then i'd still say it's 5b minimum. I had to pull my seconds up, even then, one still couldn't make it.
