Rockfax Description
A sustained wall pitch that is partly reliant on pegs for protection, these can be supplemented with small wires. Begin on the right side of the Central Ledge, at a peg right of a tree. Head up past a small triangular overhang to the base of a short overlap capped open groove and make a committing sequence to reach a peg. Move up onto good footholds and then head up left (peg), past a crystalline pocket, to gain the bottom of a long groove system. Follow the groove system all the way to the Great Ledge (some pegs) passing a small tree midway. © Rockfax

βeta: Starts at a single peg belay, not the two peg belay to the right. This wasn't clear from the guidebook.
