Description
The best 5.8 in Index, according to the Index Town Walls guidebook 'Top 10 Moderates' list. This climb was not listed on Mountain Project and as a result has likely gone unclimbed for years prior to 2023 when it was re-cleaned. Further cleaning is likely required to return this route to its former 4 star glory, but it is more than clean enough to climb as of Sep 4, 2023.
Start in a crack just right of R.O.U.S. and work your way up to a ledge. Walk across the ledge to the base of a 100 ft tall crack. Jam your way up the crack to a two bolt anchor. A lot of the upper crack is slammer 2s so save one or two for the upper section. Bring a 70m rope and tie knots in the end for the rap.
One safety note on this route is the existence of some hollow and/or loose rock - as of 9/4/23. There are a couple loose ones near the start, a giant hollow flake on the left near the middle and another block near the top. I was able to climb the route just fine, but remember feeling like someone should trundle them (but it won't be me because I already spent 8 hours scrubbing this thing).
