Rockfax Description
An appealing line that has been cleared of ivy. Start at a tapering corner/groove. Gain the corner/groove and follow it to a hollow sounding block. Move left to the rib and then onto a small ledge above. Ascend the rib to the headwall, where a steep thin crack-line on the right leads to the top and tree belays. © Rockfax

βeta: Dismayed to see this completely reclaimed by ivy having particularly enjoyed it's former clean glory 6 years ago... Arrogantly endevoured to clear it while leading from the ground up, fairly happy to have managed to get 3/4 of the way without weighting gear while hacking through the giant blanket (rated i5 - i is for ivy). I've cleared a path through just barely to the top of the bold section, but it was too sketchy and muddy to push further so retreated and abed off the first block. All but the last section in direct path of climbing is cleared, the last part would be best cleared from top, and the rest of the blanket could do with being stripped to prevent it growing back. | βeta? | |

βeta: This route is seriously overgrown with ivy and needs some proper maintenance before being climbable again. That said, if you like severe gardening whilst climbing, this won't disappoint you. I'm sure the route still holds its gratification under all that overgrowth. Same overgrowth situation can be said for the majority of routes at this buttress. | βeta? | |
