Description
The first pitch of this route offers a welcome diversion while waiting for the other popular routes on Daff.
Scramble to the base via easy slabs and climb the right-facing dihedral on good, low angle rock. Near the top the angle steepens and the crack peters out just below where the dihedral turns into a roof and ends. Where the crack peters out, face climb route via good knobs. The anchor is seemingly just out of reach via good knobs and a few good moves must be made to clip the two bolt anchor.
70 meter ropes will stretch just past the slabs and get you to the ground.
