description

Take an 80m rope. Anything shorter will not make the rap in comfortable. Take trail out to Carne wall for about 20min , turning left towards cliff around tree when trail begins going into saddle and dissapearing. Continue along top of cliff line for another 5min. There is a corner system. Looking out the right side of corner system has a lower large rock platform with an anchor on it and also a rap station just right of corner. These are for another climb. (Though the abseil's can be used to access base) Looking out on the LEFT of corner there is an elevated ledge a few meters wide with a rap station. Rapping 40m from here brings you to the belay between pitch 2 and 3. Make sure to clip rap lines into fixed cold shut on the way down to redirect towards belay. From here rap another 35 meters twice to ground. A great east facing well bolted multi , just a standard 17xshort draws is fine.

  1. Grade 24 , 35mtr, 17 bolts. Brilliant sustained arette. More like a pumpy 23 but gets an upgrade as the only way is up. Preclip first draw and establish yourself on first hold with the help of a rung , then spicy sustained climbing with very rewarding holds.

  2. Grade 21 , 40mtr , 16 bolts. Out and up , a chain protects the choss band , do what you need to and continue.

  3. Grade 22 , 35mtr , 16 bolts. Up to a long move from underclings at fourth bolt , then over and work the arette with conviction. Then an enjoyable journey out over the void to large ledge. Use bolt at base of next pitch to back up bolt near edge for belay.

  4. Grade 16 , 10mtr , 6 bolts. Unremarkable. Walk off left from anchor.
