Description

Another great Sean Jones Route with several excellent pitches.

P1 (9) Climb the left facing corner, a bit loose at the top, to a bolted belay.

You can also start with Hummock world 5.7 on the left or Rough Around the Edges to the right. Rough Around the Edges climbs the arete just right of the Flying in the Mountains corner (9). Or best start is on the face just down and right (10b) past a pin and 3 bolts into a thin crack on the arete.

P2 (10a/b) Follow the obvious finger crack up to a 2 bolt anchor. A very nice pitch!

P3 (11a) Follow bolts up to, then over, the roof. Continue with technical climbing up the corner, then out right over the arete, then up to a 2 bolt belay.

P4 (11a) Follow the obvious crack up to a 2 bolt belay.

P5 (10b) Climb up and left then back right, passing a bolt or two, into the crack and follow it to a 2 bolt belay. (A bit heady).

P6 (10c) Follow several bolts right and up on great edges to the top and another 2 bolt anchor. Another very nice pitch!

Can rap the route with 2 ropes or rap homeworld with one.
