Rockfax Description
Airy situations and sustained climbing are the trademarks of this ever-popular route. Start just right of the two trees on a low spike of rock. Climb to below a right-facing corner/groove that heads up to a huge roof. Climb the corner to a large flake on its right wall. Traverse right across the wall past grooves and a corner to another corner that leads up to the right-hand end of the huge roof. Climb the corner until it is possible to move up right past the roof to finish at a tree. © Rockfax
