Fell & Rock Climbing Club

A fine pitch with an alpine feel; ie spooky rock and bags of exposure. Large cams are useful.

Start as for Kipper’s Chimney. Make one move up Kipper’s Chimney, grasp a small spike on the left, and swing left round the corner to a hidden ledge. Awkward moves lead up right, then move back left to a massive hollow flake. Climb across this to the right and then go straight up until an obvious traverse leftwards leads up to ledges. Follow the corner, avoiding steep grass by a little slab on the left, to a thrutch up the finishing corner-crack.
