Description Suggest change

Bolted by two visting French climbers.  FA Pierre Deliage and Nicholas Richard 1988; 2nd Ascent Scott Franklin; 3rd Lynn Hill; fourth scent Harrison Dekker THEN Porter Jerrard.  

Start right at a low roof, and climb engaging face sequences until trending left by way of a large flake (keep going left for Coal Train 5.14a). Standing up on a jug and moving back right at the fourth bolt is the frustratingly devious technical crux (standing on the eyebolt here makes this climb an ultra classic 5.12c A0, seriously!). After the crux you've got 9 or 10 more bolts of engaging 5.12 climbing.

Location Suggest change

Round the corner from Thunder Buttress, and stop beneath the most brilliant marble-white face you've seen, just left of a wide corner and an overhanging cave.

Protection Suggest change

14 HUGE eyebolts, no anchor.
