Baboon Babylon VS

Splitting the right hand end of the enormous arched roof is a wide vegetated chimney. Two lines of weakness lead up to the chimney and the route takes the right hand of these. Start below a tree about 40 ft. up.

1. 50 ft. Climb up for 25 ft. then move right until one can again move up reaching the tree.

2. 65 ft. From the tree move left along ledges to below another tree. Ascend to the tree. Step left for 15 ft. to a thin crack leading upwards to an awkward ledge. The crack widens but bulges and an awkward move enables a good jam to be reached from which holds lead to a good ledge and belay, (l peg used).

3. 40 ft. Continue in the crack line over a bulge that is easier than it appears and on by a tree to a good ledge,

4. 130 ft. Continue up vegetated gully to the top. Prom this point one can either descend to. the right (down gully between the main buttress and Short Pinnacle), or continue to the top of the hill involving 300 ft. of easier climbing.
