Rockfax Description
A well-travelled route with two challenging pitches - the first is bold. Start at the far left end of the crag at a mossy slab.
1) 4c, 18m. Move left above the moss and gain a ledge around the rib. From the left side of the ledge, climb to a rampline and head up this leftwards for 3m before moving up right to a small stance and belay.
2) 4c, 30m. Move up, step right and climb a black groove for 5m until a move right and then down reaches the start of a traverse line above overhangs. Traverse above the overhang, then go up rightwards to finish up a short corner/groove. © Rockfax
