Rockfax Description
An excellent and elegant pitch up the long arete, managing to avoid all the crucial sections on the regular route. The loss of a flake/hold has made the lower section harder and bolder; it is still a bit hollow but the positions on the upper arete are superb. © Rockfax

βeta: This route has not changed over the past few years. It always required a few steady moves up to the flake and runners. It is HVS and superb. | βeta? | |

βeta: Tried this on Monday and realised that the flake you need to bot hput in runners and layback up at about 4m up is very loose and about to fall off. Route is shortly going to need a significant re-grade when it comes off - harder climbing unless it leaves a jug behind, and no until way off the ground. | βeta? | |

βeta: Anyone care to regrade this? Tried it last night, not knowing the hold had gone, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get off the ledge and why it was described as 'well protected'! | βeta? | |

βeta: There are hard, runout moves direct up the arete above the good ledge at half-height - much harder than HVS 5a! Sensibly avoid these by skipping right on to the well chalked jugs of Lyon's Corner House, and then left again back to the jugs on the arete. | βeta? | |
