Description

An excellent dihedral climb that is well worth doing if you're in the area!

Start by climbing a slightly wider section at the bottom to a good rest in a pod. Look up, ask yourself how you will fit your fingers into the crack, then stem/jam/layback your way up the corner. Work your way up to the thank-god jam, then finish up to the top of the pillar.

Location

Around the middle of the Gold Coast, this route is the striking left-facing dihedral 15ft to the right of the Erik routes.

Protection

Small gear for the dihedral. A number 4 will be useful to protect the start.

2 bolt anchor at the top
