[Hide Comment] Climbed this again for the first time in years...it features the best belay tree of the Three Sisters (a big fat pine as opposed to slung shrubs) but could use a new piece of webbing/cord and a second quicklink/biner to improve the setup. Forgot to bring extras with, or we'd have beefed it up... Dec 25, 2009

[Hide Comment] A single 60m rope will get you from the tree to the small alcove near the start. Low angle downclimbing will bring you to the base. Jan 7, 2018
