Description
Well-protected and varied throughout it's length, this route requires a variety of techniques to succeed - a delicate lieback down low leads to a steep, thin slab in the middle with a thuggy finish over a roof.
Great rock and continuous movement throughout combined with excellent protection make this well-worth doing or even attempting.
