Description

This is a rad climb, that doesn't get enough attention. Super exposed and fun climbing on good rock.

P1: A wonderful, spicy pitch that feels exposed quickly as you get onto the arete.

P2: Pull jugs up the arete and then move out right onto the face. Fire a mini roof and then two larger roofs. Unique, bouldery climbing, unlike the rest of the route in Virgin.

Pitches can be linked if you know what you're doing and an 80m will get you back to ground.

Location

Can be identified by the big roofs. Start just right of 31 Foot Smurf.

Protection

Bolts.
