Rockfax Description
Brilliant! Great positions, some of the biggest (and sharpest) jugs known to man, but steep rock and not one for a timid second. From the belay ledge, step down and make a tricky pull up across onto the wall to gain the base of a flake. Continue traversing left, going up and down a bit, as far as a tricky move up past a big undercut. Trend up leftwards from here towards the finishing corner, finish up this, or step left and belay on the ledge if you need to watch your second. © Rockfax

βeta: What a route! I think better then IDOWH. I thought it would be a crock of crap. Absolutely not. Flow - swinging like a happy chimpanzee between holds. Superb!

βeta: The down climb to the belay ledge is extremely exposed with a difficult last move for wee people.
