Rockfax Description
Good, physical climbing up the steep corner and narrow chimney/crack. A forceful approach pays dividends, but don't forget to place the bomber gear. The grade has crept up from VS over the years due to hold loss. © Rockfax

βeta: Spoke to the author of the CC guidebook at the top (Scott Titt, I think), he says two holds have fallen off this and it’s now E1 5b. It felt like it to me. | βeta? | |

βeta: Tough route, but very good, with a variety of climbing as the route progresses. Put in a bit of extra time to make sure your gear is really good. | βeta? | |

βeta: Maybe I was being unduly hesitant due to being hungover but I found this route extremely strenuous - I was pouring sweat by the top but it was great fun. | βeta? | |
