Rockfax Description
A brilliant first pitch with great moves and good rock.
1) 6a, 30m. Start below a short hanging corner. Pull though a bulge onto a slab (usually a bit left of the corner). Move up to the roof then trend up leftwards to a peg. Make a hard move back right underneath the peg then step up to a ledge. Continue to a break then up past a thread to a short groove on the left. Climb up then step right and move up to the breaks and traverse off left to a tree and good bolt belay. Best to finish here.
2) 5a, 15m. Climb up the dirty groove above and wish you had abseiled off. © Rockfax

βeta: There is a fairly new lower off above the top break so there’s no need to traverse left and it’s possible to strip the gear when lowering off. The thread tat is currently in good condition and the route is clean. | βeta? | |
