Rockfax Description
Sustained, nervy climbing. Start at the groove right of the arete.
1) 5b, 25m. Take the groove to the roof then traverse right to clear it. Follow a corner to the faultline and take a stance 3m to the left. Take care with rope drag.
2) 5a, 12m. Climb the wall on the right to a roof. Swing right around an arete then climb through the weakness in the overhangs, to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Move to roof protected by lower poor peg, the one under the roof has rusted out. Microcam useful before step right under roof. 120cm sling helps but difficult to eliminate drag. | ||

βeta: crux on first pitch are the few moves needed to reach the break under the roof - fairly committing off poor wires (the pegs are knackered). worth taking a large cam for the break (i had a camalot 3.5) as otherwise you've got ground fall potential. tidy route though and even the second pitch is quite pumpy for 5a. | βeta? | |
