description

Another good mid-grade route. Start 5m right of Reprieve at the obvious corner. Up the corner to a good ledge then follow the left-slanting crack through the two overhangs. Can be split into two pitches.

  • Foot pads/ tracks that are not hardened (“official”) should be not be followed and walkers/ climbers should spread out to prevent track formation and subsequent erosion
  • Upon leaving official/ hardened walks visitors should spread out and follow leave no trace principles.
