Rockfax Description
An excellent route that is steeper than most routes of this grade but with enormous holds. Start below a prominent jutting flake. Climb up and right to gain a sloping shelf. Move left along this past the flake and head up the steep crack to a final crux move. © Rockfax

βeta: Line in RF guides are too far right on the wall you should be on the massive but really overhanging territory further left the whole way, otherwise it is a variation on Hi, Jack! which is a completely separate line to the right. Gear is fine unless you are inept at placing wires or slings on spikes.

βeta: I will not be convinced to lead that again. If "hostile corner" is in a guidebook again I will have more sense.
