Rockfax Description
A traverse of the upper break. The original line has a first pitch that follows the initial part of the break, but is slightly loose and vegetated and not described here.
1) 5b, 20m. Follow Granolithic Groove to the upper break and belay at a small ledge.
2) 5b, 25m. Take the break rightwards and finish up the final wall of The Steel Band. © Rockfax
