UKC Logbook Description
The big, inverted-staircase groove to the right of the large overhangs. A strong line with good moves and impressive positions. Start at a slabby rib directly below the groove. Climb the rib and step right across a wide crack to a slab. Move up onto a block at the base of a smooth slab and step left to the most prominent crack. Now it really starts. Climb the crack and continue with difficulty through a notch in the bulge (crux) to gain the slab above. Ascend the groove to the roof. Undercut left to holds in the corner above the lip. Gain the block above and exit round the left arête. Finish easily up the slab to the lower-off.
