Nadin's Traverse, Roaches

Anyone know where this starts, have tried it a few times from the low jug and this felt desperate, looked on the staffs website and its says you drop into the glued flake, can someone help me please.

Can't remember which this is - do you mean the thing in the corridor between the two boulders below the sloth?

thats the one Johnny - and yes, it is desperate (although the middle bit is by far the hardest, not the start)

from what i remember - you start on reasonable holds quite high up (right at the left of the wall on a bluntish arete) and make a tricky, but not too desperate, drop to the glued flake and then carry on (sorry i can;t be a bit more specific but its been about 2 years since i touched those holds)

Sorted, I always tried starting from the low jug and moving right into the glued flake, I'll be back on this when it stops peeing down, cheers for that.
