Description
The best line on this magnificant wall. Climbs through a wonderful pink veined Gneiss wall and the slight overhangs above. Joins Itsy Bitsy Spider for the final pitch.
1) 120ft (5.10a). Start from a small ledge below a small overhang, head left for 25ft, to a recess, climb up this to another recess on pink rock. Head up and left from here over bulging pink and black streaky rock using good jugs and pockets. Ends below a small overhang, 60ft below the main roofs above.
2) 150ft (5.10b). Head up and right under the small overhang then head up the wall to a break in the roofs above. Pull through the roofs to gain a slabby corner leading back to the rappel ledge.
3) 160ft (5.6). Continue up and left from here following the arete line of the first rappel up fun, easier climbing on fragile rock.
