Planned to climb the Groove, but stayed in the corner and took the direct finish up the Rut. Hardest moves right near the bottom and to pull out of the mini-roof at the top. Finger jams required. As a VS leader I found it a bit nails..

Led this because I didn't traverse early enough to do the groove. It was an excellent route thoroughly enjoyed it once I had finished it excellent fun

Not quite sure of the correct route at the hanging corner - I followed the chalk and traversed left and into the groove rather than going right up corner.

escaped the overhanging corner by traversing into second groove a bit earlier - would be a protected move if I had any appropriately sized gear left. still very enjoyable climb

felt more strenuous than I remember the Groove being. maybe a bit harder, but I think I preferred the Groove.

Done this after I had led The Groove. The move past the peg felt easier this time. Felt more strenuous than The Groove. Well protected. Couldnt get one of Alan's wires out of the corner above the ledge.
