The flake crack in the left-hand wall of the descent gully is an ever-popular mini-classic. Layback the flakes to a tricky exit always pausing to place a few runners along the way. © Rockfax

βeta: One of the best routes on grit. If you climb VS like I did then it makes a fantastic solo. Very secure feeling. A must for everyone.
