Rockfax Description
The back of the great rift has a crack/groove in each angle. The long steep groove on the left leads by sustained climbing to an exit through the small gap. © Rockfax

βeta: I lead this tonight and thought it was a worthy route, sustained climbing and the top was much harder than 4b, it may be a height thing but the two people who seconded me agreed. felt more like 5a and I’ve led quite a few 5a’s this season. Really enjoyed it and thought it was worth two stars.

βeta: Snowdrift in exit produced a chilly little avalanche for my second as he observed my squirmy departure thru the hole @ the top.

βeta: A good route better than first appearances might suggest.
