Rockfax Description
Pleasant climbing with an initially bold section. Climb with care direct to a shallow circular niche. Continue to just short of the corner and then pursue a line up right to meet Rob's Crack. Climb direct up the wall left of Rob's Crack to the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start on the left side of the slab and climb boldly to a blast-shattered alcove. Climb up, veer rightwards as you near the corner, and traverse delicately right to join Rob's Crack where it bends right. Leave that route and climb direct to the top.

βeta: Great route, bold and 5b to the shothole but then pretty straightforward afterwards. Although not a great deal of gear. The top half is very vegetated reducing the gear to one piece after leaving Rob\'s Crack! | βeta? | |

βeta: As per other reviews, a bold start, slightly harder imo for the shorter reach climber. Past the start still a thinker but gear good. | βeta? | |
