Rockfax Description
An impressive climb taking the huge line of grooves and corners. The route described is a hybrid that avoids some potentially lethal loose flakes on the upper section of Derision Groove. Start 2m right of the large tree. From a tiny ramp, make some tricky moves up a short corner then more easily up stepped corners to below the upper corner (loose flakes just above). Now make a rising traverse left to a final deep corner that is ascended to the top. © Rockfax
