description

Originally an aid route opened by Sherman Ripley, Jim Thomson and G. Evans in the early 1960’s, but freed to produce a well protected fine face and crack climb with some great moves. Start on a block on the right of the ledge.

Climb up a short slab-like face to a small roof. Move right and then left to gain the crack which is followed until it ends. Move left for one move onto the wall and exit straight up.

ethic

Climbing is allowed as long as no plants are damaged. No bolting is allowed. Most pegs have been cut. No damaging the rock in anyway. There are people living below so no throwing things off the cliff. There are also people living above the cliff so be respectful.
