Rockfax Description
The fine angular groove is arguably the best line on the crag. The route is quite polished and a little awkward towards the top but protection is excellent throughout. © Rockfax

βeta: It obviously doesn't take much for nature to reassert itself. I found it green and slimy and was glad to be able to get plenty of pro in. Interesting though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Not a nice route, very overrated. Can't believe it is in the top 50 list in rockfax. When it is green it can get pretty tricky | βeta? | |

βeta: A good route. I think it deserves hard severe for the rather sustained nature of the climbing. It is certainly an attractive line. | βeta? | |

βeta: I agree with Swirly, it's Severe 4a as the gear is so good and there are loads of rests. I also hate it, it is bunched up, awkward and generally vagrant! April crack is miles better | βeta? | |

βeta: I am theonly person to find this one of the most overrated routes on grit. I spent the whole time bunched up and would grade it easy 4a at the hardest. Why it gets HS is also beyond me, sure if you come off the youvaren't going to be able to grab at the rock and stay on but there's fantastic gear the whole way up. April crack at stanage is a far better HS corner climb. | βeta? | |

βeta: A good route up a strong line with some good, and also some not so good, rests in between strenuos climbing. If you cruise this then you're ready for your first HS (this is a hard Severe rather than Hard Severe). | βeta? | |

βeta: Tried soloing this one and found the top section quite scary... This one felt quite hard to me for a 4a HS. Perhaps I was missing something, but at one point I had to pull up on a side-pull and no decent foot holds to grab a good ledge and that was near the top... scary mary. That'll teach me ;-) | βeta? | |
