Looking up P2 of Groover on Laurel Knob. The route goes up and right from here following the crack shown above for the next two pitches. P4 involves a facey traverse across and up water grooves until the crack is regained for P5. P6 follows Forbidden Fruit up and diagonally right to the top...
The water groove on P5 is often wet, adding to the difficulty. Photo by Denmark.

A 40' lead fall on P5, and all Denmark has to show for it is a scraped elbow. I'd be smiling too . . .
Denmark follows on P2 of Groover.
Groover, P3<br> <br> Slabtacular!
