Rockfax Description
A brilliant single-pitch route that is well protected with small wires on its hardest sections. Climb the series of grooves left of vegetation until a pull up and left gains a position at the start of a thin crack in the smooth wall. Follow the thin crack up the wall via some fingery pulls to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A lovely route - Dry Grasp for the E1 leader! Start below the obvious groove in the slabby wall.

5b, 30m. Climb the groove on good but sometimes dubious holds to where it runs out. Take the thin diagonal crack running rightwards up the wall past a delicate section (well protected with small wires) to better holds. Continue in the same line to the top.

βeta: The guidebooks says this is well-protected, and it is. But, only relative to other Stonestar climbs and only if you have a good range of micro to small wires.
