Rockfax Description
An upper wall testpiece that features a well-protected crux. Start at a right-leaning crack, the base of which disappears into a hole in the ramp. Follow the crack pleasantly to a hand-ledge. Continue more steeply to where it thins, and make a couple of urgent pulls up the wall just left of the crack to an easy finish up a tiny corner. © Rockfax

βeta: when the crack stops yielding good holds, use the crimps out left. Doing it this way Feels like E3 6a. If you try to climb the crack its much harder, trust me I tried!
