[Blasphemy, 1 kb]14m. A superb outing up the sinuous crack, with quality finger jamming and gained from the large block in the corner. The crux occurs where the crack ends, transferring onto the final slab by a tricky mantelshelf. © ROCKFAX

So frustrating, clean to the top mantel move. Tried it, climbed down to rest. Tried again then had to rest on rope. Then immediately did it! ARGH! Fantastic route!
