Rockfax Description
A handsome crack on the second pitch is the highlight of this route up the right edge of the wall. Care is needed with some of the rock on the first pitch and the exit of the final pitch. Start at the beginning of the steep section of the approach scramble.
1) 4c, 23m. Follow ledges and cracks up the wall to a grass ledge with a flake next to the arete.
2) 5a, 28m. The superb crack-line in the wall left of the arete.
3) 4c, 25m. Move up left to the base of a long hanging groove. Follow the very exposed groove to the top. © Rockfax
