30m. The groove line just right of Puzzle Groove. Climb the black wall just left of a corner and pull onto the slab below a jutting block, then follow the groove above. Continue up the steeper wall and pull left into a groove. Layback out of this into a niche, step left and climb directly the slab.

βeta: Much easier than Puzzle Groove, felt 6a+. Although very good, well equipped, clean and enjoyable.

βeta: Very good route, though felt tough at 6b to onsight with no beta. Apparently line of bolts should be followed carefully but there's a couple of places where stepping right is possible and has obviously been done, given the chalked holds; these will inevitably become the norm.

βeta: Stunning route, puts you in some fun shapes, would rate it just as good as the puzzle groove next to it
