Rockfax Description
The groove that Piton Route avoids. Start as for Piton Route but stick to the left-trending groove making a few thin moves on the left wall where the crack closes out. At the bay near the top, move up and right to gain the final level. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A Start up Piton Route then continue up the obvious crack and groove instead of moving right.

Overcome the crux by moving left as the crack briefly closes, relief then comes at a good ledge (optional belay).

From here the crack widens considerably for an easy finish to the top.
