Rockfax Description
Follow Mississippi Buttress Direct to half-height, then move right to reach the right-trending flake. Climb this steeply to an overhang and make difficult moves out right to gain a small ledge and an easier finish up the wall. © Rockfax

βeta: The only boldish bit is the traverse. But that's just a gentle shuffle along the ledge to good holds. Nice route. | βeta? | |

βeta: a well protected hvs 5a. after seconding it and leading it i think it's middle of the road, not soft touch because it keeps you on your toes for a number of moves. | βeta? | |

βeta: My second decent HVS. Very good route and does need a bit of bottle on the upper section, although gear is excellant thoughout. My advice on this one...keep moving. | βeta? | |
