Rockfax Description
25m. This excellent line climbs the main corner feature left of the recessed wall. Climb the corner until it is possible to traverse left along a break to gain a hanging corner above. Climb this to a rest below the roof, and finish by undercutting diagonally rightwards to a looser finish. A variation at the same grade finishes direct by launching straight over the capping bulge.

The main corner feature, finishing through the roof left of the corner. Climb the corner until it is possible to traverse left along an obvious break to gain a hanging corner above. Climb this to the roof and undercut rightwards to gain a short finishing corner above, which gives a meaty finish.

βeta: Removed the spooky hanging block today, after it had given Tom a scare by moving when he pulled on it. Climbs a bit differently now but no harder, if anything slightly easier. | βeta? | |

βeta: Maybe I’ve got a low tolerance for sketchy blocks but that hanging block on the right is totally gonna go soon. Defo get your E2 tick for not yarding on it. | βeta? | |

βeta: I pulled a big jug off the crux of this at the top. It is probably harder now; the jug was the top part of the slightly spooky block on the right | βeta? | |
