45m | S
Start 7m right of Velvet Underground at an obvious detached pinnacle. The route provides excellent and varied climbing, with a superb traverse; at its grade one of the finest Severe’s in the valley.
Climb the face of the pinnacle and step off the top onto the slabby wall. Continue to, and pass a perched flake towards a blocky arête. Follow this above for a few metres, before a surprising traverse left on good holds is made across the face for a few metres before following the fine cracked slabs to the top; enjoy.
The rock immediately right of The Pen is Mightier than the Sword is very vegetated. All the other routes described are to the right of a dry stone wall which abuts the base of the crag and are as per the current guide book (page 226).
First ascent: (19/05/2010) Martin Scrowston, Jim Loxham, Paul C Bennett
