11m. An intimidating but classic test piece requiring a forthright approach. Battle up the steep wide crack using a variety of jams and face holds.
FA. J Hesketh, H Tinkler 1962, one of the first routes to be climbed on the crag and certainly the hardest route in the valley for its day, a superb achievement.

Climbed this today. Solid HVS though I have never met a 5a move this testing. Would give it 5b anyday!

Every bit as awful as it looks and pretty much ungradeable. The climbing is eminently unsuitable for the standard human physiology of two limbs on each side of the body. 1 star for the line, though.

A brutal but enjoyable battle.
