Rockfax Description
A stunning line that has an outrageous optional finish. Start up the flake as for Bucket City then continue up a small arete to below a groove. Move up right and then left to gain the groove - climb it to an easing and gear. Head up rightwards past a small spike until a long move gains a good hold at the top of a small arete. Make bold moves up the wall above trending right and then left, before heading straight for the finishing chimney which is often dirty.
The Flying Fissure Finish, E5 6b - From the good hold at the top of the small spike, go right to a peg before heading up the wall past a thread to gain good holds in a groove that leads to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: Had to leave a gold offset below the finishing groove. Should come out but might need a hex / rock to hit the nut key.

βeta: Added 5mm tat to the belay flake at the top. With another loop of tat or a 360cm sling, the old sling can be cut out. The rope will need replacing soon as well. Also added a sling to the thread in the chimney. Recommend adding a silver cam equalised with a sling if belaying there or TRing.
