Rockfax Description
Great gear and superb moves on the upper section make this one a must-do. Take a direct line to the roof then pull over into the interesting main groove. The finish is a touch polished. © Rockfax

βeta: First climb of the day. Tricky side lean move trying to get gear in. Not the easiest VS. | βeta? | |

βeta: Take small nuts for the top sequence, solid #2 cam below the roof. Enjoyed the climb, fun challenge at the top. Took a fall on the cam. | ||

βeta: Managed to get it done on an overcast January day, looks sweet from the bottom but once at the crux you start to hate your life, friction is nil, and the holds are slopey, and to add to the mix I went to shake out and knocked my yellow cam 2 into the sea to where it found its final resting place. | βeta? | |

βeta: Failed on the lead, rested on top rope. This is NOT VS5a. When on VS5a can you only progress with finger locks and knee bars? Hilarious! Would reccomend but not for the new VS leader! | βeta? | |

βeta: A climb with a reputation - near the top i found the greasy handholds just as i was getting pumped but then managaged to down climb and to a rest position. Got it clean on my second shot - impressed myself no end as this was my first proper trip out of the season. | βeta? | |

βeta: This was my first ever VS lead. Spent 10 mins with my feet on the ledge contemplating the crux, by which time a layer of sweat had developed on the polished finger slot. Finally pulled through the moves to the top which I might have done more calmly if I hadnt spent so long thinking about it. | βeta? | |
