Rockfax Description
The left-hand facet of the square buttress is split by a thin crack. Approach this via a short slab (awkward for the short and with poor protection), then climb it using the arete on the right as and when needed. A finish to the left extends the pleasure a bit.

βeta: This becomes much harder if you have it in your head that you want to climb where the crack is, rather than climbing over at the arete :S | βeta? | |

βeta: what a great route if you are moving up the grades. from below looks a lot harder so once you are on it and find all the jolds open up to you it's a treat. been back and climbed this 3 times still a top climb whatever grade you may have moved on up to | βeta? | |

βeta: Did I find a hidden hold? I thought it was a S 4b although I am 6'4'' so is it harder for the short? NMM | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice big holds after the slab, don't miss the footholds directly underneath it like I did, made it quite reachy. | βeta? | |
