Rockfax Description
Climb the awkward thin crack in the blunt arete to a cramped ledge, then attack the crack that splits the overhang by jamming/laybacking. Not that well named really. © Rockfax

βeta: First few moves are very tough, close to 5b but after that it’s lovely and not painful at all. The key layaway moves are lovely. | ||

βeta: Lovely route - although I would be tempted to say that it's a stiff VS. Perhaps the only thing that bumps it up is the tricky start. | βeta? | |

βeta: The start felt solid 5a maybe 5b not one for a warm day. Cheeky leg hook under the roof gives a well needed shakeout. 1 perfect handjam and laybacking on enormous jugs lead through the overhang to the top. Completely painless. | βeta? | |
