Rockfax Description
A great route up the crack just left of the corner of Chreon. Start at the left-hand end of the terrace, and make a delicate and exposed traverse left to gain the slabbier crack. Follow this to where the crack forks. Follow the right-hand, steeper and more defined crack through a bulge to an exciting exit. © Rockfax
