Rockfax Description
Pleasant wall climbing protected by small wires. Start on the left of a rib. Step left and follow a line of pockets to mid-height. Move left to below a grey wall with a pockets in it. Climb up the pockets to a flake and head leftward on easier ground to the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Climb the wall just left of Necromancer to a break at 10m. Step left and follow a line of pockets to easy ground. Finish leftwards ( as for the original) or better, finish direct through the overhang. This adds some excellent final steep moves and means that the belay is directly above the whole route. Belay tree is a little way back.

βeta: Tricam left in a pocket 2m above the shield by group climbing before us today. It moves a little but appears to be stuck. May have been a useful finger pocket, hopefully someone has more luck | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice climbing. Hard to grade as I have done HVS' and another E1 which were both well harder. Generally, its a reachy and pays to be taller. Lots of micro wires is always a good shout, but never forget the torque at the top for a bomber belay. Generally pockets at the first crux which were secure and bomber. The second crux was cool. Nice way to finish | ||

βeta: Suberp climbing with so much more gear that you can see from below. (unfortunately?) escapable to necromancer. | βeta? | |

βeta: large flake/hold (for the left hand then foot) at the start of the climb feels like it it about to part company with the crag, there are plenty of other options.. not quite as large! | βeta? | |
