Quite simply one of the best pitches in Britain; good gear, great climbing and an amazing position. Photo on page 75.
40m. Fire up the initial steep crack, passing a surprisingly tricky move, to gain a semi-rest below the grand finale; the leftward-slanting thin crack. Follow this to a line of slightly crumbly juggy flakes leading horizontally left. Finish easily up the arete.

Probably still the best E2 I've ever done and easy if you're fit.

Certainly one of the best I've done. Not very hard if you have a bit of stamina.

whoever voted E3 needs to get out more! even the direct finish is dubious at E3...

A real treat of a route, position, exposure, good climbing for the most part and an exhilarating finishing set of moves. Solid gear. It is steep though.
