Rusty nail - V2

the ultra classic rusty nail presides proudly over south Bliss.

Thin edges give way to a horizontal rail, a lower start seems feasible at a much higher grade.

Care must be taken as some edges are suspect.

To your back is a pair of tricky stem problems, a fun V4 & and an ego destroying V7 that are both worth a go or two.

Location

5 minutes from the road walking towards the lake.

Protection

Pads, spotter.
