Description 

DOA is one of the classic trad lines at Pet Wall. Located a few meters to the left of the Pleasant Pheasant area.

Start up a balancey ramp, clip a bolt and angle up and right towards a steep left-facing corner. Small wires protect this corner well. Traverse directly right after the corner and then up and towards a pin...a bit run out until you reach this pin, but there's gear to be found....balance through this section and up to another rightward traverse on a big flake. Enter another shallow left-facing corner and climb this to the top.

Double rope technique recommended, other wise put long-slings on every piece. Rope drag can make the upper section a nightmare.

Protection 

Doubles from green Alien to #1 Camalot, One each blue Alien and #2 Camalot. Small to medium wires. Long slings, or double ropes.
