30m. Formerly known as "Fool's Gold" VS5a (SMT 1986 Central and Lowland Scotland guide) A slim black groove with no holds but great friction leads into the newer route After The Grave Dig, avoiding the possibly ankle wrecking fall into rubble from the starting traverse of that route.
This is not Fools Gold.
