Description Suggest change

Trad Rating: Hard Severe (Brit System) in 1968 climbing guidebook
Sport rating: F5

Normally only one pitch is done, however there is a second pitch.

Pitch 1: A delightful exercise in bridging and laybacking. Climb the obvious, easy angled groove and corner. Continue over the corner crack, then to a 2-bolt belay. 80ft.
Plenty of unnecessary bolts for protection, placed long after the first ascensionists completed the route.

Pitch 2: Climb the slab and wall above, 50 ft. Unknown anchor status.

This route can be climbed using only bolts, or climbed using trad protection.

1 set of cams to 2.5", 1-2 sets of nuts will protect the climb to a 2-bolt belay.
