Rockfax Description
A stunning and totally mind-blowing line taking the groove in the steep arete. Start as for The Groove. Some pegs replaced in 2022.
1) and 2) As for The Groove.
3) 6a, 40m. Move left and go up to a peg. Go up again and slightly left to a hole. Some scary bridging up the groove leads to the first overhang. Move right around this into a crack, peg. Carry on up the still sustained groove on the right, past another roof, and up to a peg. Climb the tapering groove to where you can move right to good holds where the angle relents. Head up for a few more metres to a sorry collection of pegs and traverse right to a better belay.
4) 4c, 22m. Move back left to the arete and follow it in a great position to the belay below the crevasse on The Groove.
5) 4a, 40m. As for The Groove. © Rockfax

βeta: On inspection, confirmed that there are currently 6 pegs of various age and quality on the crux pitch. The 2x new pegs added Summer '22 are traditional hammered pegs, not drilled/glued pegbolts. | βeta? | |

βeta: 2 newly replaced pegs (apparently) so should be a safer affair now | βeta? | |
