An unlikely looking route at the grade which is well worth doing. Climb the left edge of the wall - protectable once the first intimidating moves have been negotiated. © Rockfax

βeta: Bottled it half way up and put a loop in the ab rope to clip. Climbing is ok but I found it hard to find protection

βeta: Like Rob I may have been off route but I only managed to find two gear placements on this. Good job the climbing gets easier as you get higher.

βeta: I may have been off-route but I absolutely bricked it on this climb - stiff for the grade I'd say.

βeta: Intimidating first move, then the gear arrives. An unlikely look severe route, worth doing.
