Ascent Notes for: The Groove Tube - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.54/5

Great climb...easy. Good view at top looking back to Thaiwand Wall.

2 way to start, into hole or just climb not go into hole

Yes seem overrated - but have you climbed through the hole at the start? That is the crux ;-)

Most fun climb I've done for a long time. Aesthetically pleasing, great views, fun moves, huge megajugs where you want them, well protected, steep enough to be interesting, and much softer than its grade suggested. I struggled on a lot of Tonsai 6a's and this felt a lot easier - no more than 5.8.

Easy. You basically stem the whole thing but the feature is awesome. Must do for the experience.

cool but hot

Very fun! A classic.

sent my gf throught the hole!, the direct start haha, the other one is harder!

Don't forget to bring tea , cozy place and nice view at the top of 1st pitch for afternoon tea. Climbing in the tube is also fun

I was still sick and very weak, so I decided to play it safe and toprope for starters. It was nice, very straightforward, but I didn't feel the need to lead it. I was looking for something a little more challenging. Didn't try the second pitch. Beautiful features, for sure.
