Description Suggest change

Flashpoint climbs a right-facing dihedral on the left side of the big pillar at the top of the Incline Club/Disinclination slab.

Approach by climbing Disinclination, or one of the harder routes to the left (Supernatural, Strange Science, Free Fall, Ripcord). Belay at a two-bolt anchor at the top of Disinclination.

Step around the arete to the left, clip the first bolt and make an awkward move left into the dihedral. Clip the second bolt and make the crux move up to a good edge. Continue easily past the third bolt to the anchor. Lower back to the anchor atop Disinclination.

Descend from the anchor atop Disinclination via two rappels straight down; stop at the anchor atop Ripcord for the second rappel. It might be possible to get off with one rappel with a 60m rope if you angle the rappel sharply uphill.

This seldom-climbed route is barely one star, and recommended only if you've climbed everything else and want to tick all the routes on the crag.

Protection Suggest change

2-bolt anchor at the start. 3 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
