Description
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.
