Rockfax Description
An unequal battle for many. Climb the rib, then the sustained pocketed crack with difficulty (old peg) to an eventual breather on a ledge on the left. Pull up and climb the rib then saunter over leftwards to the chain. © Rockfax

βeta: Two different finish descriptions in bmc and rockfax guide. One right to lower off seemed a bit naff and too low and one left to big chain.

βeta: The Rockfax mistakenly shows this finishing right to a bolt belay which actually belongs to a new route/project/open project. The original finish is to the ledge on left then right rib of groove. Going the Rockfax way is E56B. Also worth noting that the start is fairly unprotectable.

βeta: The topo seems out of sync with the description - follow the description to the ledge, and above and right of the ledge it is logical to continue up and right, rather than step back down, make hard moves through the bulge to get to exactlt the same spot - which is indicated by the topo. Maybe I went the wrong way? You can easily clip a double bolt belay out right and lower-off and save all that grass pulling to the top.
