Climbers: Michael Govier, Philip Govier

Start location:

From the small car park at the end of Frenchay Road, go through the barrier and head 100m up the path to reach the crag on your left hand side. You will find a small discerning outcrop set back from the path. The route starts on the central face in the middle.

Pitch descriptions:

From the start (in the middle) scramble over the jutting ledges to the first hard move which is out right to a small blind ledge, then teeter across some small ledges to reach up to the first bit of gear (over halfway) which is a nut in the flake, from here its a really powerful move to a pocket (this doubles as your next and best gear placement which is a small cam) then follow the really small edges up and past the small overhanging block to get to salvation.

Additional info:

Really pumpy and slightly green.
