| Route Description: |
| This route climbs the steep wall immediately right of the square roof, through an alcove at mid-height. Climb the crack with hard moves to pass a small overhang and gain the comfortable alcove. Make committing moves up and right, then trend back left on ever-rounder holds to the top. |

Fantastic route. Was heading over to do Seamonsters (possibly Seamonsters Direct) and saw this line. Having recovered my psyche after a grim day previously at the Inland crag on Tongue Job and Tasty Morsel, this certainly was the route of the day. Thoughtful moves into the alcove - can grab a decent rest off the flakey jug. Once you work out the sequence for the crux you just run it out. Really enjoyable exposure. Definately E1 5b (worth three stars in my opinion - maybe just cause I enjoyed it so much!) |

Good little route this. The move to get into the alcove requires some thought. Gear can be arranged here, but after that it's a bit run out. Nice moves through and above overhang. |
