Description
You can find this route above Six Pence. From the anchor on top of Six Pence go up a broken face to the right, clip a bolt and move right through a roof(crux, a medium nut will protect the move to get to the next bolt for the shorter climbers). Climb the fun face above passing several bolts. At the top is a single bolt with chain link on it. We continued to the top, slung a block for the anchor and walked off.
"Six Pence and Aqualung were the original "Locomotive Breath" established in the early 90's . There was a variation, for those who did not want to do the overhang, that traversed across above the first pitch ( to the west) and ascended a arête via three bolts to a face via two bolts to the top and single bolt anchor. The variation was named "wind up". I was listening to Jethro Tull that day. The first pitch later had another bolt with a set of chains added when I found climbers liked top roping the first pitch" -L. Nelson
