Rockfax Description
95m. An excellent route with its unique finger crack. Start just left of a deep left-facing corner, left of a huge beak of rock.
1. 35m 4b A shallow corner trends right up a broad blunt rib to a platform and large spike.
2. 25m 5a Move up right to climb a thin clean crack right of the crest. This leads into corners which run up to below the deep central corner. Step right to belay below the finger-crack.
3. 35m 5a Climb the superb crack. Cross an overlap and climb the cracked wall above.
