Traverse From The Overhanging Wall to The Overhanging Crack, Eliminating the lowest line of footholds.
The line moves from a series fingery edges to larger jugs and slopers, Finishing by rising a little to join The Overhanging Crack.
Pumpy for the heavy or unfit.

βeta: It is not clear how this relates to "The Break Hoopla" and "The Lower Break" but at least this version has a much needed description of what is in. My assumption is that if you stay on the horizontal line with the hands (see below) it is the same as "The Lower Break" and that "The Break Hoopla" is the version that allows both the very low footholds and the rise along the good holds at the right hand end. Traditionally the standard traverse of the break didn't use the low footholds or "rise a little" at the right hand end but stayed at the same level on some more edges a little less fingery than those on the left. It can still be done like this but the right hand section is harder than it was because but the better parts of the edges broke off and some small footholds below the jugs eroded. There was a very low traverse that used the low footholds but all its main fingerholds have broken. | βeta? | |
