UKC

15m.

Rockfax Description
A good, varied climb that can be well-protected. Start on the left of the pinnacle and climb up to the bottom of a large corner. Fine climbing up the corner and flake reach a tree and belay. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Approach from the left of the detached pinnacle, the route starts just behind the pinnacle itself and climbs the left hand corner to a small tree. Bridge between the pinnacle and the corner until you join the groove, layback the solid flake and climb the final corner to the belay tree (abseil tat in place). Good gear throughout.

βeta: Lower off tat removed as the tree is getting quite poor & damaged. better to scramble up left (easy) and use new lower off on Side Effects.

βeta: There are currently nesting birds on this route, would not recommend doing it at the moment for this reason.
