6c, S0. Gain the hanging shelf and crawl along this until at the midway point. Swing out across the roof and up the wall beyond. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Still great fun and fair for the grade despite previous reports of a rockfall affecting the crux. Presumably a storm or two did a good job of cleaning up the mess.

βeta: This was such a thrill! Actually did it backwards I think - saved starting from in the water as the downclimb wasn't accessible. Accessed the route by climbing down by the north end of the jib crane. Got pretty pumpy, but with some pretty cool holds.

βeta: If this is a deep water solo, why has it got a E3 grading? It is worthless here ...

βeta: Indeedy. It's worth noting you can mantle onto the shelf from the back of the cave as well as the front.
