Description Suggest change

A definite adventure route.

Start as for Magnum Bro (see page for picture and details). Carefully boulder the chossy start up into the corner, then cut right around the bush into a very easy corner. Continue upward for a bit until a belay ledge appears. If splitting into two pitches, belay here.

Advance further up the corner crack, which grows a bit more difficult after the ledge. When you reach the top of the crack, traverse far right on easy but slightly runout terrain to go around the first bulge. Then, cut back hard left to attack the big roof at its weakness. You've found the 10+ bit, and it's a wild one! Having summited the roof, victory jog up the corner to bolted anchors.

Rope management: The route is fairly straight up the corner until the final zig-zag prior to the crux. Even split into two pitches, avoiding rope drag is tricky. Either use double ropes, bring a couple quad slings for extending pieces during the zig-zag, or be prepared for drag through the crux.
