Rockfax Description
A committing start and sustained climbing on the first pitch. Pitch two is dirty and is best avoided in all but a drought. Start 5m right of the dark cave by a small corner.
1) 4c, 20m. Climb the tricky corner heading for a steep white wall. Climb the wall keeping right of The Wrinkle belay ledge by moving to the arete briefly. Move left across the traverse of Wrinkle to a small groove. Follow this up and right, either rejoining Wrinkle on the right, or going straight up to the belay at the top of P2 of Wrinkle.
2) 4c, 25m. Often wet. Gain the big corner with difficulty and follow this to the overhang. Move right below this to another corner and follow it briefly until you can make a committing step left onto the exposed arete which leads more easily to the terrace above. © Rockfax
