The obvious slim groove right of Surface Tension is an underrated route. Abseil down to a small sapling stance and climb back up with a technical start AND finish. Cleaned, in good condition, and worth **, August 2014.

βeta: In my opinion its worth 2 stars even in its unclean state. Is possible to climb without abseiling in, my partner belayed from the good ledge and I traversed into the start, rope drag was fine.
