Rockfax Description
A great route that has the crux where it should be... at the top! Follow the ramp-line leftwards for about 25m to a resting ledge. Attack the steep groove on the left with gusto (crux) to gain the ledge and belay. Abseil off. © Rockfax

βeta: Another Grochan classic, but not a good one to fall off especially at the start. The gear is unusually sparse and even higher up some of the placements are getting a bit blown out.
