Description
A Taste of Honey is yet another Henry Barber masterpiece. Expect just about all of his routes at Arapiles to be extremely difficult for the grade. Descend the High Dive Gully (same as for Kachoong) and scramble up to the photographer's ledge. Set up a belay here and climb up off the belay a short distance, traverse left around the arete, and then up a right-facing corner to the roof. Runner all gear well as this climb changes aspects about 5 times. Place gear under the roof and stretch out right to a horizontal and cut your feet loose. Monkey across the steep wall and pull up to another arete and stance and continue easily to the top.
