Description:
Classic slab adventure cutting directly up the center of the main face and through a stout overlap. Friction smears, peg-scar fingerlocks, thuggy mantleshelving, its got it all. Take the guide, cos is *really* easy to get off-route and onto a unprotected epic. Requires a steady lead head.Descent Options:
walk off to the right, taking care not to dislodge stones onto climbers below.

Did it when it was graded E1. Got off route near the top and had to improvise round some of the longest run-outs Ive ever known, and on tiny smears. But now I can smile about it.
