Rockfax Description
This makes the most of the rock scar left when Shadrach's chimney collapsed. From the bay below the rock scar, move up and right to gain the base of the groove. Bridge up this to where the crack goes right. Arrange good gear, and make a hard move or slap for a good hold up and right. Use this hold to get established on the sloping ledge before traversing left to join Meshach-Shadrach. Finish up this. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A line where momentum may be of assistance in the lower half, and a suitable new addition to the face after the loss of the multiple large blocks forming the good and popular Shadrach. Start beneath the obvious large rock scarred corner groove, taking a belay just to the left of the base of the groove is recommended. Possible in one pitch with careful ropework.
1. 25m 6a. Gain the corner groove and climb this via bridging until it steepens. Step right onto a small ledge before committing to the overhang via an undercut where momentum can be used to gain the large jug above. From here step left and continue leftward via a hand traverse for 2m, then continue up to belay on the muddy ledge above the oak bush.
2. 15m 5b. Climb onto the block above the belay, cam placement out left. From the top of the block step right to gain the crack and commit to a tricky mantel. Continue up the crack through the short corner to finished straight up via flakes.
