Rockfax Description
The awkward and oft-green groove is squirmed to a rounded exit. The route is not popular though, if you happen to find it dry, then jump aboard. © Rockfax

βeta: The safe belay stance is some way back from the top of the climb. There's a good sling around a block and room for a large wire for the anchor. descent is off right (facing out).
