Rockfax Description
The slanting crack gives a fine exercise in jamming - steep, strenuous and well protected, it was graded VD for many years. A popular route for logging your first flight time! Who said Joe Brown invented hand-jamming - check the FA date. © Rockfax

βeta: Loose rock about halfway up where the two cracks meet. Also a slightly loose boulder at the top that looks like it would make a good anchor | βeta? | |
