Ancient Light, pitch 1. The lower part of the route is a little dirty, but the upper part is clean, steep, and airy.

This photo shows most of Crack Land and all of the existing ring anchors, Tier 3. The new route BLADE is marked in pale green. Note: The ring anchors above War Horse (not shown here) are in.

Mystery Ship starts about 20' left of Merlin's Enigma by a large pine tree.<br>

The route is very dirty and needs a thorough cleaning. There's a hard move at the first bolt, a spicy runout between the second and third bolts, and a challenging headwall at the fourth bolt that seemed much harder than 10a.

Routes on Crack Land, part of Avalon. Approach via the first pitch of Ancient Light, or by a 4th-class scramble from the left.<br>

Note: the rappel tree below Resurrection shown in the photo no longer exists. A new 2-bolt anchor has been installed slightly above this point.
