Filmors nesting up the original starting crack so the variation is essential unless you want to be covered in bird sh!t and possibly attacked. The route of the crag in my opinion! |

Frequently climbed using the start of Grecian Gift, grade drops to Severe. |

Should we have "green fuzz grades" eg HS but the gfg is E4. Not a serious idea in case anyone thought I had completely lost the plot. |

Definitely worth 2 stars, grade dead on at HS. |

Good natural line, grade bang on. Wouldn't bother with alternatives |

Better than Orange Blossom! |

Alternative options to this route:
1. Step across gap from boulder, below Orange Blossom, to gain end of broad ledge by pulling up nose.
Gives an overall grade of V.Diff, this is probably more in keeping with the rest of this climb;which is a lovely line.
2. Finishing further out left to normal finish by stepping round small arete to the corner and footledge, to a slabby short face which gives exposed finish.
With the normal start this is about VS. |
