Rockfax Description
A classic trip weaving its way up the impressive buttress.
1) 4a, 14m. Climb the left-hands side of Hollybush Gully and move out left and climb a groove to its top, step left across the side-wall then mantelshelf onto a small stance.
2) 4a, 16m. Continue up the groove then step left and tackle the bulges by a trio of awkward, and poorly-protected semi-mantelshelves, mild but bold. It is also possible to start up Jeffcoat's Chimney then follow ledges rightwards via a long traverse to the base of the groove, at about the same grade. © Rockfax

βeta: Great route. Not hard but a great and varied way to spend an hour. Don't forget to extend some runners otherwise the rope drag is the crux! | βeta? |

βeta: VDiff in my opinion. No discernable crux and the top bold section is about Diff technicaly. Easier than Black Velvet but still a great adventure for a beginner. | βeta? |
