Route Feedback: Hells Groove
Posted by: martin bagness, 12.05.2025

The most recent FRCC guide (and Rockfax) both gloss over the remarkable top pitch and suggest escaping via an alternative finish or by abseil after P2. They also strangely down-grade it and the photo lines of the pitch and adjacent pitches are unclear. The 1988 guide description is spot-on – ‘climb the lurid green overhanging crack’ (5b). This is perfectly climbable despite the moss, probably the crux of the whole route and certainly the most characterful part of a characterful trip!
