[Jack just about to clip the bolt as it was getting dark., 1 kb]14m. Brilliant and brutal. The overhanging groove and crack on the right-hand side of the wall is a classic of its genre. Start beneath the crack-line. 14m. Boulder up to the slim overlap and make difficult and wild moves into, up and then out of the groove to a wider crack. Jam this to the top. © ROCKFAX
