A photo of the ever so present dikes covering the walls at Lover's leap. These dikes are what give Lovers Leap its major characteristic and add the very unique climbing possibilities

P1: 140 feet. Traverse right after bulge at top to belay ledge<br>
P2: 130 feet: Climb up 20-30 feet, then traverse out left to arete. Beached Whale move at end<br>
P3: 190 feet. Start with 20ft Chimney, then traverse around around arete to a piton, move right 10 more feet and then 160' up of sustained, easy 5.6 climbing.

Route tracing: From this angle p2 belay is estimated. The belay is just prior to a short chimney.

The beached whale move right before the second belay

Head jam in the chimney!

Griffiths navigating the airy 5.7 traverse back into the corner of the book, an old and twisted piton offers minor protection.

Making headway up the exposed arête - towards the "beached whale" move that brings you into the chimney space. The perfect spot for a 3-piece anchor in the rocks.
