Description
- This is not necessarily a new route. It may be a forgotten project or a re-equipping of an old, unrecorded route. There was a single, old rusty and suspect pin lost in the moss at half height (now replaced by a bolt). There may have been more that have fallen out, or have been claimed by the moss in the cracks. There is no information that I can find about it and no recorded first ascent. If anyone has such info, please post it to the comments and I will update it.*
Like the Dragon's Treasure in The Hobbit, this route is a lost treasure. This treasure is a line of bomber, overhanging jugs separated by a tricky but interesting crux. At the second bolt, you hug a pillar and slap a horn. If you like overhanging jug hauls, then this one is for you. One of the best climbs in Gollum's Cave.
