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. © Rockfax

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: 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? | |
