[Helen on Columbia, 3 kb]A lovely route - Dry Grasp for the E1 leader! Start below the obvious groove in the slabby wall. 5b, 30m. Climb the groove on good but sometimes dubious holds to where it runs out. Take the thin diagonal crack running rightwards up the wall past a delicate section (well protected with small wires) to better holds. Continue in the same line to the top.

Crack was sadly sopping wet after overnight downpours and so down-climbed (not resting on gear) and will try again in better conditions.
