description
Climb over the overhanging base to gain good holds in the middle of the wall and gain the break. Move left to the middle of the buttress. Climb the smooth bulge to a sloping break. Originally a small 1 inch thick plant was used with a sling. Just for confidence. Move up to the next break and clip the bolt in the wall. More sustained moves to reach the top. Best route on the upper section of crag.

ethic
Originally only 1 bolt was ever placed for safety on a British 6c. All the routes were climbed ground up, no preinspection, no top roping. Only one fall on a first accent was ever taken and that resulted in a ground fall from 20 feet due to a loose hold. The route was completed without the original runner placement. It's sad to see routes originally done in a pure style now bolted and graded as sports climbs.
