Description

Perhaps the most glorious sandbag of the Otter 5.8s, this wild and exposed route packs an unexpected punch. For how good the position is, it's a shame the movement isn't a bit more fun. Start up and left of the Plague Wall, locate some small cracks where you can build a gear anchor, this set up can be a bit tricky. Lower in to the looker's left (climber's right) corner of a large alcove. The route starts from the mid way ledge. You'll likely get some odd looks from climbers on Otter. Even while tied into a rope and standing on this nice ledge, the position still feels precarious at high tide, as massive waves roll into the sea cave beneath your feet. Climb difficult and sustained stemming, somewhat reminiscent of the top section of Drunken Sailer, up the flaring corner. Tricky and sometimes awkward sequences will get you back to the surface world.
