Rockfax Description
The superb blank groove can be approached from a short way up Edge Lane by a tricky traverse (5c), a pile of stones or a f6C problem. The crucial upper section has an old cemented peg runner in the right wall, between the two cruxes. Finish using a tiny chipped hold. From the terrace continue up the easy corner, or abseil carefully from the big chipped spike on the left. The super direct start is f7B. © Rockfax

βeta: Just a warning for 'shorties' wanting to onsight. Both the crux move below the peg, and the move to reach the good crimps just below the top significatly harder. Felt like insecure sequency 6a to me. (I'm 5'6 with null ape index.) Ancient peg can be backed up with a good small cam now. | βeta? | |
