Description

Short and bouldery, 4 clips. A tough start on small crimps is best attempted in cool, dry conditions (or bypassed using the arete just to the left). Move up large ledges, trending slightly rightwards until a big reach to a flake under the roof. Pull up to good holds above the roof and the fourth bolt. A couple more moves gain the chains.

Location

The first route to penetrate the narrow roof about half way along the crag.

Protection

4 bolts, 2 bolt anchor.
