Rockfax Description
220m. This popular climb is often climbed in combination with Agag's Groove or January Jigsaw. The first of many routes by the team of Bell and Harrison in Glen Coe. Scramble up easy slabs to the bottom rocks of the north-east edge of the buttress. Start at a prominent spike just left of a rock niche. Climb a series of corners and walls. The left-hand crack on the last steep wall is exposed but boasts a perfect handhold. Easy scrambling, then an easy slab on the left leads to a ledge below an arete with a crack just left of its edge (Hiccup).
The route goes right round the edge and gains a recess by an obvious and well marked traverse. Now descend rightwards to a ledge and climb an awkward 3m wall to a ledge slanting right. Follow the ledge to a 20m chimney. Climb the chimney, with a long step right at 10m, to a grass ledge. Traverse hard left on sloping holds to a short steep crack near the buttress edge. Follow the edge to the top on splendid rock. © Rockfax
