Rockfax Description
An excellent and underrated route. Start just left of a steep groove. Climb up to gain a bulging crack which leads to a pedestal. Finish up and right. © Rockfax

βeta: Excellent route. This was originally described going up the groove, and that seemed much the most logical way (stepping left at the break to finish up the thin crack). It was steady HVS done that way, and very good. The current CC Stackpole and Lydstep guide shows it starting left of the groove and going straight up to the crack (and the Rockfax description seems to follow this) and upgrades it to E1. In the CC guide, the groove forms the start of Alcoholics Anonymous (E3). As the original line up the face, I would have thought that the easiest line was the most natural. | βeta? | |
