Description Suggest change

A pleasant wandery excursion with a variety of movement and nice views. Mostly great rock, but two chossy moments to be mindful of.

Pitch one: up detached block, mindful of choss as you establish in the crack. Straight up the corner placing cams, then veer slightly left clipping bolts and onto ledge. Belay bolts are back and left. Extend belay if you want to see your follower. Careful not to kick anything down.

Pitch two: get up onto the narrow band (easiest going left up choss for one move - direct is harder), then traverse around pleasant airy position until you can see an optional belay stance. Best to keep going up and link into the next pitch, reaching a major ledge. Two belay bolts a few metres back - again consider extending your belay down.

Pitch three: walk up to the easy short boulder problem, which goes up the crack a few metres in front of you. Consider having your belayer walk up and spot you - you can't fall off the cliff from there. You can place a #.5 in the pocket above the crux for your follower.

Walk off right to faint trail which leads you back down to the half way ledge. Alternatively, abseil down from the chains above Jasper's Jaunt if you have a 70+m dynamic rope.

Location Suggest change

If you're facing the cliff, this is the crack system at the left hand side of the cave on the half-way ledge. The start is identifiable by a detached block with a single bolt in it.

Protection Suggest change

Single rack #.5 - #3, extendable draws, bolted belays. Judgement required to identify good rock in places.
