Description Suggest change

A very impressive route that takes a line over the large overhang at the south end of the crag. Starts about 30' right of Illusion at a white rib below and right of a groove.P1) The rib leads up to an obvious groove, which is followed to a hanging belay near its top.70' 5.9. P2) Climb up left to the roof, then further left to the corner and up to a piton runner on the left. Make a hard long reach move left then go up and back right to a hanging groove above the roof. Finish up the groove on good holds. It is possible to gain the groove above the roof direct ,this is slightly more difficult.75'5.11b
