Rockfax Description
A dominating groove-line in a strenuous old-school style.
1) 5b, 18m. Climb the groove past a big flake, then head through a break in the bulge above to a good ledge at the faultline.
2) 5a, 18m. Follow the groove past a huge dubious block and continue to the top. The block is the size of a Mini car, and has no visible means of attachment but is still there - feeling lucky? © Rockfax

βeta: As regards the "block" we spent some while trying to avoid touching it but in the end as Graham D says using it is inevitable. Good route though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Fairly low in the grade but atmospheric. Pitch 1 would probably only get HVS 5a in the peak as a jamming exercise. The 'dubious block' on pitch 2 is the size of a mini with NO visible means of attachment. Laybacking the edge of this block appears unavoidable and is very unnerving. | βeta? | |
