Rock: Large Rock Fall - The Amphitheatre

A large rock fall has occurred behind the Pegasus pinnacle in The Amphitheatre. The rock fall originated from the right side of the gully, and there are now large unsettled boulders from the base of Pegasus to Chad.

There is some damage to the arete of Pegasus.

Take care when walking through the debris field and climbing up the gully, as many loose blocks remain.

description

Start up the thin crack, pulling onto the face with some big moves to the break at about half height. Move right at the top to join the anchors of 'J P Superdog'. Originally a bold undertaking protected with traditional gear. A seldom, if ever repeated feat.
