Rockfax Description
A choice pitch, although the initial wall takes time to dry. Begin just to the left of Botterill's Slab. Climb just left of the arete to reach some left-leading ledges. Follow the ledges and grooves leftwards to a final groove that is climbed to a small overhang. Move past the overhang and up the wall above with some difficult pulls. Finish up a groove and crack. Abseil off or continue up Botterill's Slab. © Rockfax

βeta: I sid this climb many yrs ago. But remember the crux pitch as beautiful. The final pitch makes it a mountaineering route. Such a beautiful route | βeta? | |
