Rockfax Description
The upward trajectory is usually hidden in the tree canopy but the climbing is good and the rock clean. Top of the grade. Start where the approach path meets the cliff. Take the corner to the overhang and then traverse right to a very short crack in a corner. Exit the short corner over an overhang and attain the wall above with difficulty. Head carefully up to the overhang above, pass it on the left to reach a groove and then a small ledge on its left. Take cracks up and then leftward to tree belays. © Rockfax

βeta: We (mostly Colin) did lots of gardening, including removing the giant rose bush. Now is a good time to climb this route! Someone had put fresh bit of tat on the ab tree too, thanks.

βeta: The abseil slings have gotten rather gooey from sitting in mud and leaves collecting behind the tree, on close inspection they appear in tact but i'm not sure how this affects their strength... I cleared the mud and it held my descent.
