20 | ★★ Uprising | 110m | Average | |||
Good position and some good climbing. But poor rock in some places, with potential for catastrophic consequences if there were a bolt failure, mean I wouldn’t recommend this climb. For example the first aid bolt on P1 is close to the lip of a chossy sandy roof. If it failed you’d hit the deck from 15m.

Climbed a fantastic crack up and right of Cymbeline, hoping it was a new route. Presume it is this route though, as the crack is cleaned and had a cairn at the start.

If you're thinking of leading this, I'd recommend rapping down and attaching a 5+m sling from the first bolt before you set out. Otherwise the first bolt is a ground-fall's distance above the last gear.
