Rockfax Description
Fine climbing with two impressive and contrasting pitches.1) E2 5b, 18m. Layback up the huge flake to a tiny ledge. The upper part is steeper and leads to a massive terrace. Escape or:2) E3 5b, 16m. The upper arete is delicate and effectively unprotected. The ancient golo/bolt should not be trusted! © Rockfax

βeta: WARNING, the very top of the crag, i.e. the last hold is a large elongated breeze block sized block, which is totally loose. It was sticking out of the top at about a 20 degree angle. I avoided using it at all, and the last man up pushed it back into place. Either wants lifting off and chucking, or resining in place. | βeta? |

βeta: First pitch solid E2 with a slippery green wall to run your feet up. The top pitch is an E3 horror show and it is best to scramble up the corner at the back as described in Paul Nunns guide. | βeta? |
