Rockfax Description
Another arduous and devious roof pitch that visits some highly hairy situations. From the lip of The Sloth yard leftwards until a long stretch reaches the tiny cave under the roof. Finish direct as for Painted Rumour. Originally the route leapt left from the Cheeseblock runner then used fragile flakes to reach back to the lip. The less devious version has become the norm. © Rockfax

βeta: Agree with the comments - if you sling the spike in the cave and tension it to the ground via the back of the roof with a third rope then you're pretty safe. | ||
