Access Issue: Temporary closure of The Flake Details

The Flake route is temporarily closed due to rockfall.

Description

Easily done in a single pitch this semi-classic requires being versed in a variety of techniques to succeed.

Begins in a chimney/offwidth (facing left is easier) which narrows higher and transitions into a flake which is lie-backed to it's end near a horizontal to a delicate slab climbing finish.

Four stars out of five.
