description

A direct start added to the great original finish of 'Squealer' makes this an awesome undertaking. Six FH's straight up to a lower-off, Stick clipping the first bolt is advised if getting to the first bolt bothers you. (Originally, Squealer traversed in from Howler).

Start: From the first raised platform.

ethic

Modern climbers establishing new routes have taken great pains to ensure any new routes do not interfere with the historic routes established many decades ago.

Retro-bolting of existing routes is unacceptable!

New routes shall make use of traditional protection where available.
