Description 

Aiwass may have been the first 5.12 face in NH- Anyway cool climbing on route that is NEVER done. The first pitch has a good pull around V3/4 to enter a nice corner system . Wander up a slab to the tree ledge. P3 A nice 5.9 corner to a sloping ledge. P4 A steep and fun rib with fair bolt protection. 10 +

Location 

At the top of the Beelzebub /Ethereal flake. STIFF pulls up and right to a nice corner. An alternate start first done by Jimmy is down to the right, MUCH easier (11c). Past a bolt then RP into the corner.

Protection 

Pro is good throughout and is ok with a regular NH rack
