[cruising on overhanging groove, 3 kb]17m. The shallow overhanging groove in the left wall of Parsons' Chimney proves to be quite superb. Layback the lower section and bridge the upper, with an exciting finish on huge jugs. An Almscliff rarity, a route that is low in the grade! © ROCKFAX
The corner groove left of Parson's Chimney is a classic. Layback the polished flake to a cave and then climb the corner crack which peters out. Make you last runners good for a runout to finish on superb jugs.

I got told this was a VS and was surprised at the long runout to the top. Wouldn"t quite stetch to HVS though. Right on the boundry. Superb moves, a bit of faith required when going for jugs near top.

Initially did it for a lead, did all the hard stuff then I fell off on the twin 1in dishes as, without beta, I didn't know the next holds were the jugs! Was trying to rest and got so pumped - 6m inverted fall. Ed lead up the remainder and I 2nded with no problems except pumped to shit at the same point again.

Superb climb that requires confidence because you have to move so far above your gear on a short route (20m?) that you know that if you crap out at the top you'll deck - not that you should as there are jugs galore but it's not called 'overhanging' for nothing.

think this one is pretty height dependent - certainly felt very tough for VS as the the new guide gives it! Top end HVS 5a I thought as quite run out at the top. Certainly bolder than other two *** HVS's though admittedly less technical.

Maybe only a VS. There is only one awkward move getting into the final groove, which is well protected the rest of the way is on jugs. Awesome climb.
