Description Suggest change

The route starts at the bottom of the trench. Climb out of the trench and move right along the horizontal crack. Pull over the bulge on good edges to climb the arete and face to top.  

Location Suggest change

The north ridge.

Protection Suggest change

A top rope can be set up using the glue-in bolt on top of the Trench Boulder.

The protection on this climb is not good but at least comes right before the crux moves. A small nut can be placed in the horizontal crack, and a hand placed beak or blade piton can be slotted into the diagonal crack that runs up to the arete. The belayer should position themself part way out of the trench in order to jump down in the event of a lead fall. A fall from the crux will likely end with the leader hitting the walls of the trench. A fall from higher up would surely result in a ground fall. Because of the trench you can actually lean across the gap and try out the key gear placements without leaving the ground.
