Excellent stone, leads up to a small ledge before moving left and up on small edges, sidepulls and a cool sloper. A fingery, balancey, powerful crux through the corner ends with fun climbing on positive holds over the roof, with a “old school” styled finish.

Start as for House Of Usher, but trend right after the first bolt, to a no hands rest at the second bolt. Power through a crux at the first bulge, to a quick shake, then another 5.12 crux through the second bulge using hard to locate holds. More technical, powerful climbing gains a last quick shake before a finish with a tricky bouldery move at the anchor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dklKQz3eGNg

This is the extension to House of Usher. Climb up right to a shake right of the third bolt. Then cut left and head up the black rock through big moves with a building pump.

Pitch 2 is a 13C above.

Put a long extendo on the last bolt of House of Usher and don’t clip anything to the anchor.

The continuation of Shame P1.

Link up. Do HOU’s crux through the corner, clip the last draw and head left to the last bolt and anchor of City In The Sea.

FA: Jimmy Blackhall & Francois Bergeron, Jul 2018

Technical climbing weaves up the beauty, grey streak, left of House Of Usher. Put your thinking cap on for this one! The intricate, friction-dependent boulder-problem crux makes this route really worth doing! Steady to the anchors now.

A powerful boulder problem off the ground leads to sustained technical puzzles on interesting holds. Watch the anchor clip!

Same start as "The Sleeper", ontop of the small cave, but cuts left up the beauty black streak. Boulder problems, gain a half decent shake and a burly pull over the "Wave". Make sure you have gas in the tank, because the sequential, technical top can feel hard after the power draining bottom. Shares the same anchor as Overlooking Paradise.

The project line of Bolts above Bittersweet and Op's anchor. Hard future proj!

First crux requires a blend of tech and power to overcome. The second requires nothing but burly strength.

This pitch gains a high position on the cliff and follows a very attractive grey steep corner feature that's begging to be climbed. Begins next to a small cave with a Boulder problem straight off the ground followed by technical dihedrals. The upper pitch has spectacular climbing and a total must do for the grade. The midway ledge has a new anchor ONLY for lowering if you have a 60m rope- do not stop here.
