Start location:

The groove, rib and face left of Rumblefish gives and unlikely outing with the primary protection being given by skyhooks.

Pitch descriptions:

Climb the groove 5 metres left of Rumblefish and where it terminates make a difficult exit up right to a sidepull where terrifying moves lead to a hollow undercling, a pumpy position where you need to place some skyhooks and an RP in a small wobbly block to protect the next section. A 6c rockover up and left leads to a positive sidepull before precarious moves back right lead to good jugs and easier climbing back left to a crack near the top. A serious pitch.
