How can this possibly be considerd as 6a ? It is barely 5c and so well protected you could use a full rack in it's 10 feet. Go and do venom's first pitch and have a rethink ! Or get on some grit !

Route description in guide is wrong. The crack is taken by Vindaloo. GD takes the corner groove on it's left. When underneath the overhang try swinging out right and make a long reach for a good hold. Much better.

Try the alternate start at the front of the buttress. Move up to a good hold and RP3 nut. A hard move onto a short ramp leads precariously onto the arete. E2 5C ?
