A jaw dropping line. Walk from Newnes campsite on maintrail left of river for approx 150 meters then turn left uphill on obvious trail between two stone cairns. Wind your way up into a saddle and up and left you will see a large white patch of cliff. Break trail and mosey up spur to elevated platform just right of white rock and base of route (shiny bolts).

Starts just right of large white patch of rock, below prominent crack line. Bring doubles in the small size cams and a number 6 camalot (trust me , you will know when to place it). You can link pitch 1&2 but its a long one. If linking pitch 1 + 2 bring alot of everything.

1. 12m Dirty but easy off-width to the ledge. Can be combined quite easily with P2 for a mega pitch. #4 cam is useful, but not essential.

2. 36m (19) The main pitch is excellent varied jamming through low-angle cracks and around vague overlaps. Bring a big rack of gear. The dirty off-width at the top is hard to protect, and the top-out is onto rubble and scree.

55m abseil from tree at the top of the cliff to the ground. 2 ropes essential.

1. 40m (25) stick clip BR cruxy up and left past BR. Up seam( piton, cam) all the way over bulge,then move L onto ledge. Sustained climbing ( good large wires, pr, br) up the upper section of seam to sloping ledge, then traverse right around nose up to belay.

2. Not very nice and recommended. Up wall to large ledge. Left and up flake/ corner. Up to tree

Classic almost-a-sport route with some wonderful sustained climbing and heartbreak crux right near the top. Stick-clip high RB then up sweet scoop past another RB to horizontal break (vital #3/#4 camalot - make it bomber, if it fails you hit the deck). Finish up wall above past three move RBs and a long runout to shared rap anchor with Top of the Pops. The bolts are weirdly placed so use long runners to avoid ropedrag. Route was rebolted in 2013.
