Rockfax Description
The centre of the wall has a delicate start from a block and a good finish up the short leaning front face of the final block. A good bet for a first HVS. Escaping into Crack and Corner at the top is worth VS 5a. © Rockfax

βeta: How hard the crux is depends how tall you are you. Simple as that. Felt 5a for me at 5 foot 9.

βeta: I think if you don't use the flake/ ledge in the corner that is part of the severe (just before the long, reachy crux on this route) then hvs 5a is just about fair. But it then feels extremely eliminate

βeta: Super route. Top isn\'t too hard. Get your feet high and it\'s an easy reach.

βeta: Soft 5a, easy all the way but very reachy at the top section for final top out.
