30 Freedom

Probably the hardest route on the Pipes and a magnificent line, taking the arête and wall to the R of of Icarus.

Access via a 30m abseil from rap station above the slab that caps Battlements Column, to the Middle Battlement (top of pitch 2 of Battlements).

A reachy and powerful boulder problem at half-height offers some amazing moves in an outrageous position. A finger-sized cam can be handy to protect the post crux section.
