description

Long bolted line just right of the NE corner of Woodcroft Quarry. 19 bolts + 2 bolt lower-off (but there's at least one you can skip if your short of quickdraws).

60m rope only just reaches the ground when lowering, please take care. An alternative with a shorter rope is to multi-pitch the route from the first terrace.

Watch out for loose stones when belaying.

Climb the corner with holds out left until the route moves onto the main wall. Climb up to the bulge and, after clipping the bolt, move right to hidden hold out right and small jug a reach above. Climb over the budge and upward until a small traverse left is required. Climb up again until some more suspect rock on the left allows you to get to just below and left of the top out. Bridge out right using diagonal holds to reach the abseil station.
