Rockfax Description
A great route which is easier (E1 5b?) for the tall. Climb the blunt arete on side-pulls to a ledge below the slab. Traverse out right to the arete then reach the horizontal break above with difficulty before traversing back left to the short finishing crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Correct sequence crucial for the first traverse. Took 3 goes to find it :(. Top traverse no pushover. Dunno 'bout "hardest E1 in the peak", but I've certainly done easier E2's! | βeta? | |
