Rockfax Description
The long enticing crack-line has climbing to match. Start at a 4m long crack that ends on the ramp of Mickledore Grooves.
1) 5b, 32m. Gain the ramp with difficulty. Follow the long crack above the ramp to a groove which leads to a stance on a rib with a corner to the right.
2) 5a, 22m. Take the corner to an overhang on its right wall. Move right around the overhang to easier ground and finish up ledges and corners. Alternatively, move right to the abseil point. © Rockfax
