Description Suggest change

The Deacons NE face is a superb, steep wall with a number of routes in the 5.10 and 11 range. Great exposure and generally very good rock quality. Plenty of potential for future development too.

Getting There Suggest change

From the meadow camp, ascend to the Deacon-Matriarch col (45 mins), then traverse the ridge line towards the Deacon and drop down onto the snow/talus to reach the base of the wall (1.25-1.5h total)
