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

Start as for "J.E.M.", and then climb the crack to the large rubbly ledges. Scramble to the first groove on the left wall and get established in the crack. At the top of the crack there is a crack that leads diagonally up to the right to the anchors of "Fight or Slight". While airy it is easily protected to get up to use these anchors to abseil off.

Originally either used a tree tree belay or exited to the left to the anchors of J.E.M. which created drag with an up and over redirect.
