Description Suggest change

Following up a clean line with a lovely dance on a face that makes much more sense when actually on the wall than from the ground.

E1 5b in UK grades
Climb the pockets in the vein of calcite to the left end of the ledge under the black bulge. Go up and left on pockets, and wander leftward onto the grey wall following holds as they come, before veering back to the resumed line of pockets. Continue up, and eventually traverse left to head up to the rock anchor shared with the Suspension Bridge Arete.

Location Suggest change

Go up the mudslope with the rope, and exit right (as for Earl of Perth and Hell Gate).  Starts on the leftmost side of this section.

Protection Suggest change

Wires, small cams, tricams if you like them. Thin slings for threads. Fixed pin. Rock anchor to rappel from.
