Rockfax Description
The right-hand groove gives steady, open climbing and bridging, on polished holds, with loads of gear. Amazingly, the route was originally graded Exceptionally Severe. © Rockfax

βeta: Approach with care - I led up to the right of the slippery "chimney", which looked awful. Some rock is clearly unstable here. Felt scary. Then just ploughed straight on up to the top, so a longgg pitch. Abbed all the way down Glory Road. Some kind soul had left a good screwgate & a new tape.

βeta: Abseil in the guide as descent is not really viable. Best to walk left for Mineshaft, or right on a slightly higher path to Inquisitor.
