Description
This route has excellent jamming and a boisterous layback crux in a great position. It "escapes" the crux of Shaggy's Roof by following the right wall and coming up and around into the rightmost crack.
Start as per Shaggy's Roof: Start at the base of Brownoser and climb the 5th class section up and right to get to a large tree coming straight out of the corner. Keep going up the mossy chimney/gully from here (don't go onto the face with the chossy finger crack) before heading out left using underclings and side pulls (careful of the loose block) to get to the start of the hand crack.
Bolted anchor (shared with Shaggy's Roof) at the top of the crack, located on a ledge around the right of the arete when viewed from the bottom. Rappel the route with a 70m rope. Lowering instead of rappelling increases the risk of getting the rope stuck in the crack.
