Rockfax Description
A technical start leads to a flake then back right to a ledge. Climb a groove above then move up left to another groove. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Start 10 metres or so left of 'Tambourine Man' A technical and steep crimpy start gains a large flake before heading back rightwards to gain a small ledge at the base of the huge slab above. Crimp and rockover upwards until it is possible to launch up the first of 2 tube like grooves. At the top of the first tube, traverse out leftward to the base of the second tubular groove. Chain bolt belay and flake thread at the top.

βeta: The lower off on the ledge above created some anoying rope drag on lowering, the ropes were also running near some sharp rock on the top out. If anyone ever wants to put a normal lower off in place (unless there already is and I climbed past it?) at the top of the route I'll pay for the gear / donate to the bolt fund.

βeta: Originally climbed directly up from the ledge before traversing to gain the tubular groove I.e, no use if the lower blocks. Probably 7a+ if climbed this way and 7a if using the lower way.
