This crack can be found just behind the big boulder at the start of grotto slab. Follow the crack up and out the top to rejoin the route for grotto slab. A really nice mix of crack climbing or chimney of you're tall. And a nice sheltered belay spot for your second. I only placed 2 cams but you could definitely place more if you wanted.

Same Topo as grotto slab.

βeta: Duplicate route - already on UKC as "Ill Lit by Torch-light" VD although that's a fairly recent name for an old problem. HVD is the more accurate grade though.
