23 Rock Shot (Direct Start)

Trad start to FH then a few carrots to chains. The topos show a completely independent line from the ground. However this line appears to require that you hang yourself off, put your gear in, and position your belayer beneath, some very suspicious large booming roof flakes. And its dirty. If you'd rather not take that risk than a good alternative at about the same grade is to climb Sickle for 5m then heel hook R along the lip of the main roof a few metres below the FH, and turn the lip using the short fingercrack. The face climbing from the lip of the roof to the anchor is great, on some of the most solid rock at the crag.
