Rockfax Description
The off-width crack between the cavesl leads to a small overhang - big cams and big hams help. The wall above the overhang is much easier and the exit is loose. © Rockfax

βeta: Great almost "offwidth" start plenty off different methods of getting up the first section and opportunities for almost every type of jam, very pumpy all the way up untill the last slabby section, Desperate and loose(gravely) top out.

βeta: Exactly the same experience as Chris. Totally nasty start (Friend 4 only just big enough), shaky middle section, filthy top out. An anti-classic!

βeta: huge fists and lots of thuggery needed for the start. toke 3 of us in shifts to work out the start just to get to the small hollow. then when i redpointed past to the (much easier after the overhand) section had a mare not a lot of gear and some hard necky moves and yes very loose at top, was one relieved chap at top
