Description 

P1 is fairly well-travelled. Pitch two may not have seen an ascent in the last fifteen years. The first pitch corner has it all; well, almost! Thin, funky climbing off the ground leads to a lieback past two bolts to a crack and a stance under a roof. Crack, face climbing past wild jugs and finally stemming leads to a tricky crux finish. Spectacular climbing.

P2 climbs a slab with (possibly) fixed knifeblades. 5.10+ R; currently, almost certainly prohibitively dirty and most likely not equipped for free climbing. This pitch could potentially be used to access the Beach, but it probably would need some cleaning.


Location 

This is the obvious left-facing corner that is reached before the Zipper area.

A 60m rope is needed for the descent from P1.


Protection 

Nuts and small cams to a #4 Camalot, I believe. The bolts on the route are old but have continued to hold falls. Fixed anchor.
