Start location:
Start over to the right of Digitus Extractus. Was
approached by climbing
Men of Gwent. Then pulling up on the static rope which used to make
up the lower off for Suicide is Dangerous. To then gain the ledge with a shuffle right, all very overgrown.
Pitch description:
From the bush belay, traverse right to a ledge with a crack and gear.
Make steep moves up left across the wall and heave onto the ledge.
Move right to a hollow crack then pull over vegetated ledges to a small bush 4 metres from the top. Abseil from the bush.
Additional info:
Route was climbed on sight with a point of aid in the crack used to make the crux moves on the wall.
