Grade Route

Sustained.

  1. 20m. Zigzag right across the slab to a large block with a runner. Pull over the block and climb the crack on the right to belay on a pedestal above a deep cleft.

  2. 25m. Climb the corner above then zag out left at a prominent rail beneath the capping roofs.

Start right of ZigZag, below the open corner following the steep crack-line through the roof. Then continue up as for ZigZag to the pedestal above the cleft. Continue climbing the corner, but take the right exit through the roof. Good holds await.

  1. 10m. Follow the wide crack to a nut and a PB on a large ledge.

  2. 20m. Move out right then back left to finish directly up.

An Excellent line.

  1. 20m. Climb the steep flake /badly protected to start) that is right of a detached larger flake. Gain a sloping ledge above, and then continue up a quartz chimney. Belay.

  2. 15m. Step out right and climb the fine crack on perfect rock to the top.
