Rockfax Description
From the boulder below the overhang, swing your feet into the break (honest) then shuffle round to the front face. A couple of moves of proper climbing are needed to reach the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Lead this route and carry a camera, just to capture your second’s comedy foot action. Priceless, and worth repeating, though will likely need a different partner each time. | βeta? | |

βeta: Be careful putting cams in the flake after the slot. Our rope ended up running through and pushing it well deep into the crack. Managed to retrieve on ab with a lot of graft. A nut would be less likely to be lost to the crag! | ||

βeta: Totally agree with everyone... Just good silly fun. No idea how you'd grade it, but leaving it at this grade means that no one will jump on it before they're at a level at which they will enjoy it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Great fun and well protected. Strangely it all makes sense once you are inserted into the slot. The finishing move up the wall above is quite interesting too, so at least you feel like you've done some "proper" climbing and earnt the HVS tick. | βeta? | |
