Rockfax Description
Stupendous wall climbing up the best line on the face. Start as for Tudor Rose at the right-hand end of the sea cave overhangs.
1) 6a, 25m. Follow Tudor Rose to the small rest ledge on its traverse and then climb up to a narrow overhang. Move up to the groove above and make a very hard move to enter it and exit right to a good hold. Climb the short wall above to the faultline and a hanging belay on nuts, cams and a thread.
2) 6a, 25m. Move up right for 5m and step left to a foot-ledge. Move up to the base of the white wall, then climb thin breaks and flakes, past twin pegs, to another peg, and a final, long move to a good hold just below a long ledge. Gain the ledge, and traverse right to a corner. Climb this with care to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: You can do the whole lot in one pitch and still reach the fencepost with 55m ropes (50m will probably just make it too). | βeta? | |
