Rockfax Description
The deep groove is compelling. Start just right of Yob Route.
1) 4c, 40m. Go right to gain the steepening crack that leads to a V-groove. Tussle up this to the groove by the right rib. Move up to regain the crack in the back of the slot and fight up to the top. Continue more easily to belay on Slab Climb.
2) 8m. As for Slab Climb.
