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...
Kara following the down climb/traverse pitch. Down climb a solid 30-35 feet before traversing over, so awesome!

1st pitch of Groover looking up <br> First belay at the tree is about 12 foot shy of a 60 meter rope. <br> (original photo by xfloors)
A 40' lead fall on P5, and all Denmark has to show for it is a scraped elbow. I'd be smiling too . . .

Go as high as you can before the down climb/traverse pitch

The water groove on P5 is often wet, adding to the difficulty. Photo by Denmark.
