Rockfax Description
The superb soaring crack in the left-hand side of the main wall. The start is often damp and the whole thing can be a bit greasy - when bone-dry it might just be VS. Abseil off. © Rockfax

βeta: Pretty good condition today, quite dry, just slightly greasy at the start and a slightly dirty in the odd place. Quite steady sustained at a reasonable grade after the hard start.

βeta: 02/06/20 Even the start was dry today, it was absolutely pristine, except for a dusty top ledge, which I have now cleaned. 24/06/20 Wet and greasy up to the niche. Fine after that.
