UKC

Rockfax Description
From the groove where the normal Virgin Traverse finishes, the extension heads rightwards with difficulty. The full combination is 7C if started as per The Virgin Traverse. Hardcore traverse fans will note the entire boulder can be girdled at f8A. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
On the virgin boulder, start around the groove on the arete (right foot heel hook will help) and move right through the easy crack. Difficult crux around the bulge requires a tricky gaston and some serious pulling and a sort of pincer move on bad holds. Finish on the easy holds after the bulge.
