Description Suggest change

A very big dose of calcite makes for engaging 5.9 corners on the first two pitches. The Empirical Route tackles the right facing corner separating the Rectory from the Nuns. The third pitch climbs rotten Wingate on the north side of the Rectory to the summit.

Location Suggest change

Far left side of the west face of the Rectory. The first route right of Where Have the Wild Things Gone?

Protection Suggest change

Double set of cams to #3 camalot with a set of nuts for the calcite corners.
