SMC Description
35m. The original route starts as for The Groove and makes a long left traverse. The Direct gives a more logical line with some steep and exciting moves. Start 6m to the right of the beech tree. Climb a slight rib to a ledge, then leftwards up the steep wall and through the obvious break in the overhang. Move up to a ledge on the right and continue easily up the wall above to the top. © SMC
FA. Original: R.Campbell, 1960; Direct: I.Rowe, 1969 15/Jun/1960
