Rockfax Description
A popular and relatively easy route. Despite its length, the route has a big feel - especially on the final arete. Start at the toe of the clean ribbon of rock that goes to the top of the crag.
1) 20m. Head up a series of walls left of the rib before heading right below a block to the rib. Move back left above the block to a belay.
2) 15m. Climb left into a groove and then move right onto the edge and up onto easy terrain. Follow the clean path to belay below the final impressive tower.
3) 25m. Move up to a ledge on the right-hand side of the tower, then move up and left to the other side of the arete. Climb this in a sensational position to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Nice afternoon chilling out after climbing Mensor. My second time on the route and thoroughly enjoyed it today. Overall straightforward with some good moves on each pitch to keep you interested *** | βeta? | |

βeta: A great multi-pitch VD climb. Lots of interesting positions, always well protected and some of the finest views in Wales. Do it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Rockfax route lengths are closer to the truth, but the Climbers Club guidebook description is better. Walk along the top of the crag and keep looking for a stile at the top of a broad gully which marks a steep descent. | βeta? | |

βeta: Well-named - starting to become overgrown at the start. The abseil point was in good nick (rope loop under a low-lying roof) but there is a jungle of brambles where the abseil lands. Take secateurs! The actual climbing is fine - good value for a VDiff. | βeta? | |
