Adjacent Routes << Cream < Vector | Grim Wall Direct > Grim Wall >>
Another great route which is eliminate in its lower section but finishes in a superb position on the headwall. Start up and right of Vector, below a wide corner.
1) 5b, 12m. Climb the groove above to a spike belay (on Vector).
2) 5c, 20m. Join Vector and climb it through the Ochre Slab. At its top, pull right round a corner to a ledge. Move up right and climb a hidden crack to a sloping ledge belay.
2a) Atomic Finger Flake, E4 6b, 20m. The desperate steep-wall, which is the underside of the Ochre Slab.
3) 6a, 18m. Climb into the hanging pod with difficulty. Pull out left at the top then climb the crack with even more difficulty past a peg. Keep going up the crack and another crack on the right to the top. FA. R.Edwards and party (aid point) 1975, FFA. R.Fawcett 1976
