Description

Start up a bulge through some harder-than-expected movement to reach a standing rest and the base of some big pods. From here move through the pods and into the upper headwall, crimping and edging for a WHILE. A long, brilliant route. Sustained.

Protection

5 or 6 draws for the beginning, the rest are steel permadraws, hooks at the anchors.

[Hide Comment] Hang five or six draws and then clip climbtechs to the chains (in 2015, at least). Fantastic vert climbing. Make damn sure you knot your 70m rope. Nov 16, 2015

[Hide Comment] Argh, so close to getting the onsight on this route! Seems a bit soft for the grade IMO but who am I to say. Great climb regardless of the grade. FYI, my 70m rope did not get me back to the ground - knot your rope! Jan 2, 2018

[Hide Comment] My Edelrid 70m got me to the ground with 6" to spare. Definitely knot your end. Feb 1, 2018

[Hide Comment] Really cool climbing. Although long, didn't feel pumpy as there were multiple rests for getting everything back. Moves were really interesting and fun to climb through, tricky crux too. Dec 2, 2018

[Hide Comment] A couple of no hands rests help manage the pump. They also gave me a chance to put my hands in my pockets to warm them up! Dec 17, 2018
