Rockfax Description
From the detached little block on the left of the face, traverse the low breaks rightwards, around the arete, and finish over right at a short vertical crack in the niche. If you're not pumped then stay on and reverse it (f6C+ if done in reverse). © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Starting on the block on the left of the overhanging face, traverse the juggy low breaks all the way around the corner to finish at a juggy, undercut flake. Strenny - feels more like French7a+ or so.

βeta: 6C+ or 7a+/7b sport. Would be really classic if it was graded correctly. I'm sure if you can do laps on it, it will feel piss, but that's the same with green traverse or gorilla warfare and they're still 7A | βeta? | |

βeta: In 27 years of climbing I have seen this traverse done maybe twice at the most. The consensus that its high 6C is still too low. I agree with the logged description 7a+. Its one of those problems that if it was graded correctly would be an acknowledged classic. Just because you can climb onto the crux from the floor and do it, doesn't make it easy in sequence. | βeta? | |
