Description
This tall line involves a diversity of different features and climbing techniques. Quite a good find which didn't easily manifest into existence without a quite a bit of hard work and attention to detail by Norm Reed.
The slightly overhanging face starts with some easier climbing up through the grey rock section to an elongated pocket crack. Layback and look for a high step and then a smear, moving slightly up and left to gain the next rest position. The next 10 meters involves a face climbing sequence, moving up and slightly right then angling up and left towards a ledge at the base of the upper dihedral. The ledge is your next rest position.
The upper dihedral and face involves a bit of stemming then back to face climbing. To gain the top rap anchors, continue up right then straight up to the anchors.
