To the right of Chuff is an easier angled groove, about 4m wide, called El
Cap Groove, which yields the following two routes.

  • P1
  • 15
  • 20m
  • Trad

Climb the left hand corner of the groove onto a ledge. Then continue up the corner, over a rock spike to a large mossy ledge. Then climb the easier angled rock above to the overhangs. A direct route through a cleft in the overhangs (15) is possible. So too is an easy exit out right (13) but the original exit was between these. A deep two-finger hold solves the problem. Note: now very mossy!
