Rock: Large Rock Fall - The Amphitheatre

A large rock fall has occurred behind the Pegasus pinnacle in The Amphitheatre. The rock fall originated from the right side of the gully, and there are now large unsettled boulders from the base of Pegasus to Chad.

There is some damage to the arete of Pegasus.

Take care when walking through the debris field and climbing up the gully, as many loose blocks remain.

description

Climb the slabby wall to the ledge at the base of overhanging section placing a wire or cam on the way or clip the first bolt of ‘The Appendix’. From the ledge clip the bolt on the headwall then move up past this to clip the last bolt on ‘The Appendix’.

A right side variation involves climbing the face directly to the single bolt on the steep bulge. Stay right on the bulge using a sketchy heel hook to gain better holds. Press out mantle to finish. This variation is called "Toxoplasmosis" by Marco Lefebvre.
