Description Suggest change

Formerly a thin desperate but well protected crack climb this route has been hit by rockfall the past two freeze/thaw seasons. (2018-19 and 2019-20) What it turned into is an excellent moderate cragging pitch with wonderful climbing throughout. This could be a popular route to jump on if waiting for mobey.

Thin moves off the ground (Probably hard for the grade) to a stance. Place small pro and break right onto brand new rock then a slightly chossy ledge. Layback up the beautiful brand new left facing corner joining a shallow corner and hand crack to the anchor. Rap or lower with a single 60m

Old description: Excellent crack climbing off the ground gains a stance below the crux. Stay left using the face and crack, or stay right and climb the crack direct, (a little harder) up to a ledge. From here aim for a shallow corner flanked by a nice short hand crack (5.8). Belay from fixed pins above.

Location Suggest change

Start about 50 feet south of Vertigo /Union Jack. This trip starts up a thin crack that splits a "mini buttress".

Protection Suggest change

Protects very well, small nuts, cams to hand size. Rap with a single 60m rope.
