Description Suggest change

Phosphorescent Flow takes the right arete of the huge buttress on the lower west face of the Witch. This buttress has Gorilla Warfare on its left side and The Pit and the Pendulum to the right. Spot a first and second bolt way the heck up there...

Getting past these first two bolts is quite terrifying -- you're looking at certain injury and possibly worse if you blow it, but the climbing is really good and the holds are all positive. A great approach/warm up to the harder climbs on the upper south face of the Witch.

It is possible to rap to various anchors with a single 70m rope to get down from this long pitch.

Protection Suggest change

Draws, plus a few finger-sized cams to protect some of the runouts in the middle section of the route.
