Description:50 metres above Steel Knotts and just above a sheep fank is a cleanish wall of rock identified by a blank-looking wall with a rounded overhang on its right. The wall is terminated on the left by a tree-filled gully. Start at the foot of the tree-filled gully, 4 metres above a thriving juniper. A bold start and a delicate finish. (4c). Step right and climb a shallow groove, pulling over its capping roof to reach flakes. Move right to a large spike and follow the arete to the top. DESCENT: Down the tricky slabs to the left (looking-in).
