Rockfax Description
A good route that is only marginally easier than Grand Canyon. Start just right of Devil's Haircut. A tricky initial 'slabby' pull is followed by a steep sequence of moves to reach good holds. Yard up jugs with a tricky pull through the mid height bulge to reach more jugs. Continue quickly, making a final energy-sapping move to reach the lower-off just beneath the roof. The extension is a project rumoured to be around 8b. © Rockfax

βeta: The manky bolt protecting the crux has been replaced with a glue-in (July 2019). The route has a couple of harder moves than Grand Canyon, but isn't as sustained; still a pumpy 7b, especially if conditions aren't perfect. | βeta? | |

βeta: What is the short project between Grand Canyon and Broccoli and Ice-cream? I'm assuming as the first two bolt hangers have been removed it's not an open project... Looks like it could continue into the 7b through the bulge | ||
