Rockfax Description
Low in the grade and excellent. Start up the shallow awkward left-trending groove in the blunt arete to the overhang. Move right and power through the flake that splits the roof then continue up and left on flat holds to the lower-off on Zombie. © Rockfax

βeta: Large loose block close to the start beware!!! I pulled one down with almost no force, the other just above could do with removing too. Makes the start trickier as they were good holds.
