description

This route starts to the right of The Elusive Pimpernel and has a small silver plate with its name at the start of P2. P1 starts below the higher path that gives access to most of the routes of the sector and can be easily skipped. One can easily link P1 & 2 as well.

  1. Scramble easy rock to the higher level path.

  2. Pull up to a small recess passing a small silver nameplate. Climb the recess to a small ledge. Walk 2m to the left and choose one of the sides of a small roof and climb it to a bigger ledge.

  3. Climb the set of small prows right above the end of the previous pitch and continue up to a small ledge. Climb the brown face to the right of a roof that folds over the face avoiding some poor rock (most of the rock is good though). Scramble up to a big ledge.

  4. Walk 20m to the right to a cairn to the right of a triangular pointing block. Pull up into the obvious circular break and continue up to a huge ledge.

  5. A beautiful clean dark brown wall waits for you. Scramble up diagonally right to a corner using good footholds. Climb up and once at the big roof traverse slightly left to an exposed face with good foot and hand holds. Continue straight to the top. This is a spectacular pitch for the grade. It looks harder than it actually is.
