Description 

This is a well protected Shipley & Kohl route. It can be accessed by climbing Bishop's Terrace halfway before traversing left to the belay ledge which is the start of the route. Another option is to climb Bishop's Terrace to the top of pitch one and rappel to the base of the route.

Clip bolts and pull on enjoyable edges. The crux move is just above the 7th bolt, and a wild .10d section under a roof finishes this climb off with excitement. Definitely worth the trip back to Churchbowl!

Location 

This is the Bolted line left of Bishop's Terrace. From the top of the climb, rap twice with one rope to reach the ground.

Protection 

Take 11 quickdraws.
