A striking thin crack splitting a steep wall above a roof, this is a classic
drytooling pitch. Originally climbed by traversing from the left above a
block, the block has since fallen away. A new start has been climbed
utilising a thin seam to traverse from the left, with 1 bolt to protect, at
same grade as original. Once in the crack, can protect well with small wires
and micro-cams,

A huge block has fallen out of the start of the route, changing how to access the seam. May be more difficult, not sure until someone tries it.
