Rockfax Description
This extraordinary outing sees few ascents as a complete route. Some abseil in to attempt the iconic groove pitch on its own.
1) 6c, 25m. A great pitch up the wall.
2) 6b, 10m. Traverse right along the break to the 'Paris' belay.
3) 6c, 18m. The groove starts smooth and wide and gets smoother and wider before a few holds appear and it eases slightly near the top.
4) 7a, 25m. For those who have climbed the groove, the disappointingly hard top pitch still needs to be done, although it is only desperate for a short section. © Rockfax

βeta: Old bolts throughout the route have been replaced, including the anchor. Quite a lot safer now. No bolts were added to the original route but the first bolt in the groove is a little lower, so it is possible to clip it ground-up, although this would be tricky. | βeta? | |
