28m. A good route in its own right and possibly the best HVS on this wall. Start on the right side of the pillar to the left of the main overhang, climb this, then traverse into ATOC above the overhang at the vertical crack. Continue as per ATOC.

βeta: No idea why this route traverses in from the left as there is a great crack/corner to the left of the E2 which makes a much more direct and logical line more in keeping with the rest of the route. Quality jamming leads through the roof and to the main crack. For my money this is the 'true line' of the crack.

βeta: This is actually a good route, despite the guidebook saying it’s a poor alternative to A Touch of Class. It’s probably the most solid HVS on this wall.
