McBirney was ‘just bouldering’ until he decided reversing back down was too difficult! Good moves in the V-groove lead to the blast hole, then move across into the groove proper. Good protection can be arranged in the crack of the eliminate.

Green Groove Eliminate (23), FA Rick McGregor, March 1981, is referred to in this description but seems to have been omitted. Here's the description from the 1996 guide: Start as for Green Groove to the blast hole. Continue up the thin crack through the buttress, moving right and up to an abseil chain.
