The beckoning roof-crack is a beauty and high in the grade. From the ledge on Wall and Crack, do battle with the roof-crack - proficiency at jamming helps, a lot. From the jugs on the lip pull over then exit rightwards much more easily. A Direct Finish, E2 5c goes straight up to the capping overhang, then exits left. © ROCKFAX

Took a bloody long time to get this one but once using the crack with a foot jam it was so much easier.
