Description
Begin your adventure on easy, chossy ledges that any landlubber could scramble up. This first 10 feet be nothin' but fair winds and calm seas.
But beware as the crack narrows and ye approach the thin lie-back move. Secure your footholds, balance yer weight like a true pirate, and trust yer trusty boots as you pull up and shove yer hands into the big roof finish. Clip from the massive jug and anchor away!
Location
To find this treacherous route in Pirates Cove, ye first need to navigate to the shadowy vertical wall beneath the mighty overhang that gives the Cove it's moniker. Once there, the route ye seek is Pirates' Left, near the end o' the roof but still inside the shelter and storm relief provided.
