Rockfax Description
Long, varied and sustained. Start 1m left of the large tree that stands against the base of the crag. A slim groove is followed to a step left onto a short slab at 5m. Move rightwards and over an overlap onto a wall (just down and left of a tree). Now gain the narrow right-facing corner and take this to flakes. Climb up left and then rightwards to a thread in a concretion before finishing direct to trees and a belay. © Rockfax

βeta: Contradicting to the comments below, we abbed off fine on the double cord around the ab tree. Metal ring seemed fine as well.

βeta: The abseil ring is currently not safe to use. The single rope sling is looking worse for ware and critically one end has frayed right up to the start of the double fisherman. Use the tree directly instead, until more rope slings are added.
