Rockfax Description
A superb route with two contrasting pitches. High in the grade. Start as for Stroll On.
1) 5b, 20m. Make a tough move to gain the right arete from the base of the corner and then step right into the appealing groove. Climb this boldly to a large sloping belay ledge.
2) 5b, 25m. Make an exposed move rightwards round the arete and climb the groove to a ledge. Move left and make an awkward move to gain the base of the final hanging groove. Follow this with difficulty to finish on a large ledge. Abseil off. © Rockfax

βeta: First pitch intimidating rather than bold, with spaced but adequate protection. 2nd pitch and absolute fight to stay composed, especially whilst getting the marginal gear in. The 'ledge' (2nd pitch, top of groove) isn't a rest! Low E2 imo.
