Start location:

As for Phaedra, left of Heroin Chimney

Pitch descriptions:

Start up the tricky groove of Phaedra until that makes a move left into the easy wide crack. Instead, pull up and right into the steep undercut continuation groove which leads over the roof to a long and superb hand crack. This leads up the hairy wall to the last few moves of Horse Above Water. Well protected.

Additional info:

The hand crack was scrubbed on abseil. Clearly visible on page 149 of the Gogarth North guide…between lines 63 and 64.
