The next groove after Cracking lockdown. Start as low down in the brambles as desired, follow the groove to a roof, pull over and left. Some loose rock.
Alternmatively pull straight up and follow the groove to the top, with big rockover. Critical hold is loose and needs care.

βeta: Four years after doimg this with Ron, I went back with Dave and straightened the route so rather than stepping left at the overhang, followed the groove up with a a big rockover, which is probably harder than 5a. The critical hold needs care -when held right it doesnt move, hold too far to one side it moves at least 1/2 inch. Crux protected by IMP 1 and 3, so possibly not VS. | βeta? | |
