Rockfax Description
A glorious fissure in the shallow corner is quite superb and far too short. One of grit's better short 'n' sweet cracks. © Rockfax

βeta: VS? Well at -3 celsius, numb beyond the elbows, in horizontal hail and my only large cam 10ft off the deck and 12 below my feet it just about felt that way. Crux at 1/3, find the crockery in the crack and its over. | βeta? | |

βeta: Its a pleasent route but whoever thinks its VS and therefore a bigger undertaking than Central Groove or Main Wall is having a Larf. HS if you must, but probably better off as a stiff S 4a. | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice climbing, but not 3 stars, and doesn\'t really deserve \"one of grits best short cracks\" IMO. Perhaps HS 4b? | βeta? | |
