A contrived line, the bolt was for the obvious start through the roof, which is yet to be completed. Climb Inertia to the lip, then traverse the lip, to the bolt, where a hard move gets you established on the slab. Climb the slab / wall above using side runners in Inertia where required.

Trad and mixed routes abound here with the occasional sport route. A number of routes are readily accessed to set up top ropes. As an older crag, the grades may feel quite stiff, so take this into account. The crag is within a national park, so no dogs, no smoking and use the toilets if you need to go.
