UKC Logbook - 'Dovedale Groove'

Rockfax Description
A hard-won but rewarding climb on a strong line. Start by scrambling easily up a grassy ramp to a small tree and big boulder below the groove.
1) 5b, 20m. Make difficult moves up the slab to enter the groove. Bridge up the groove to a stance below a wide crack.
2) 5b, 22m. Climb the wide crack and, at a jammed flake, transfer left onto a slab/groove. Follow the groove to a grass ledge and belay.
3) 10m. Move up easily to a belay under the capping overhangs.
4) 5a, 22m. Head right to a weakness in the overhangs and follow the groove to the top. © Rockfax
