Description 

This is a good little route that will have you reaching into your chalk bag right off the start. To gain the excellent crack, face climb (crux) past a single bolt.

Location 

Just down and to the right of the Royal Arches Route pitch one chimney. There is a seasonal waterfall just to the right of the start. To find the start, traverse a skinny ledge with a tree on it. This climb shares rappel chains with Arete Butler. Although the climb is only +/-90ft, you need two ropes or one 70m to rappel to the ground.

Protection 

Standard rack to 4" and one quickdraw.
