Rockfax Description
A direct line above the starting groove of Bleak How Buttress incorporates plenty of good climbing tempered by limited protection. Climb Bleak How Buttress to the slab, then move out right and climb direct to a ledge. Climb the wall above, initially leftwards, then directly to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
