Dave explores the line.

Description 

This is a line that is probably ~100m west / left of the left end of The Quarry Wall routes. There are a few lines over here, but mostly the routes peter out after 35-45 feet. This one sort of catches your eye as you walk under it going to The Quarry Wall or to the East Quarry. It may be easier for a smaller climber with smaller hands.

Start below a dihedral with a crack. The crack seems to be tight hands to off fingers and a bit tight for the toes. After about 35 feet, the climbing eases dramatically in difficulty, but you must go another 40 feet to top out.

Walkoff ~ 60m to the left with a short downclimb at the end. It is a bit loose, so take your time.

Oh yeah, if this is your line, let me know, and I'll correct the info.

Location 

This is to the left of The Quarry Wall's left end by maybe 100m.

Protection 

Wireds, a #9 hex, cams to a #3 Camalot. The anchor was a #3 Camalot and a medium wired.
