Rockfax Description
One of the great Cromlech extremes. The route is best accessed either by climbing Dives/Better Things, Sabre Cut (p.123) or Spiral Stairs to the belay on The Forest. The striking thin crack to the right of Sabre Cut is followed to an exciting finish. © Rockfax

βeta: I pulled off a very loose milk bottle sized block about halfway up - sorry! However I don't think it's affected the difficulty of the route in any way; it was in the easy section around 1/3 height (just before the really juggy pocket) and there's plenty of other options for gear/holds. The area directly behind where it was has a few loose little chips though, and the rock is quite sharp. Undercut spike in the upper pocket is also a bit wobbly | βeta? | |
