Rockfax Description
85m. The vertical crack-line and wall just right of Groovin' High, with an excellent crux pitch; clean, technical, well protected and very sustained. Possibly the best route in Scotland? Start 2m right of Groovin' High.
1. 30m 4c Climb corners and short walls to the large ledge 3m right of Groovin' High. Crawl right to belay.
2. 30m 5c Climb a steep corner, then the crack-line to enter a groove below a roof. Move left to good holds and re-enter the groove beside the roof. A strenuous bulge leads to a belay.
3. 25m 5b Take the shallow groove above to horizontal cracks. Traverse right into a corner, climb it and return diagonally left until above the belay at a small roof. Finish rightwards up a slight ramp and back left on big holds to the top.
