Description 

Iron Maiden is the second route from the left on the First Tier. Start 10' right of Sex Slave by a short, right-facing corner capped with a small roof. Climb the right-facing corner, step left around the little roof, and continue up the face past two more roofs to the top.


Protection 

8 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

I thought this was a really fun route. Some really nice "jungle gym" moves going through the roofs.

Very fun route with interesting moves and nicely bolted, I thought. Guide book rates it 5.10a, but I vote for 5.9. You will not be able to see your belayer from the top, so plan accordingly.

Really fun route. The second roof was a blast. One of the best routes at Avalon.
