Rockfax Description
A bruising battle for most. From a big thread, hand traverse the greasy flange and finger-jam the roof-crack. Once established on the front face things ease instantly. A VS from when grades were random, though there was a big jug on the lip back then. © Rockfax

βeta: Why isn\'t Cave Crawl in the guide? It is truely unique amongst all the routes of the peak in making you think you\'ll die by getting stuck and never getting out again. This, added to the rabbit from a hole experience of popping out of the top of the innards of Swimmers Chimney makes it well worth doing! | ||
