From the TV program Lakeland Rock.

UKC Logbook Description
A superlative test piece with two powerful pitches.
1.) 22m (5b), P1 of Tophet Grooves
2.) 35m (6b), serious and sustained with no real rests. Difficult, bold moves lead up the overhanging wall (wires out left). Continue up the wall (wires behind expanding flakes) to reach a thin right slating crack in the steep slab above. Climb the crack to ledges, then move rightwards over a bulge and step up right onto the Great Slab. Climb up to the Demon Wall traverse, then move left to a good pinnacle belay.
3.) 30m (6b), climb the rib above the belay; step right to below a thin right slanting crack in the overhanging wall. Climb the wall (cams) to a jug (peg), move right and pull into the groove above. Follow it and its right hand branch to the top.
