Rockfax Description
A fine and popular pitch to push your E-grade on. It has a few bold sections but is adequately protected if you stay cool. Start 3m left of the groove of Sunny Goodge Street. Climb diagonally leftwards past a hard bit to a rest. Move up then right onto some smooth holds and a decent runner or two. Continue slightly leftwards with difficulty then up onto easier ground and a belay in the break. © Rockfax

βeta: i had ran out of 5's so i had two sideways rock fours to protect the crux. not reachy i didnt think if you get the right foot sequence. steve led this after me and got a rock 3 and a rock 1 in as well as the 2 rock 4's for the crux. it does feel bold but it is safe. worth the fluttery symbol

βeta: Don't know what the bold comments are about. Good gear all the way. Rock 5 was fine, and a solid RP at the start of the crux. New lower off thread and clean at present.

βeta: I am happy to confirm that the sideways Rock 5 in the pocket was good enough to hold a fall from 2 foot short of the easy ground. (Romped it on returning a few months later!)
