Mega classic. A good test for your route reading skills. Quite serious for it's grade

FA: P L Roberts & J K Cooke, 1935

A variation of the last pitch of "The Grooves". At the belay ledge, traverse right for 8meters onto the grassy corner. Up the cracked corner unto a leftwards handrail traverse with poor pro but good holds. When you reach the spike spike on the arete take a rest and enjoy the nothing-ness below you! Punch through to the second spike, and fast up on decent holds to the ledge before you run out of strength. Then easier climbing to the top.

FA: H I Banner & J O'Neill (1 pt), 1958
