Rockfax Description
Engaging and varied climbing. Start 4m right of Granolithic Groove just right of a bush. Climb the thin crack to an overlap and manoeuvre past it to enter the groove above. Take the groove all the way to the upper break, from where a wall leads to the final arete of Granolithic Groove. Finish up the arete. © Rockfax
