Fun and exciting route on Main Wall featuring a tension traverse around a bulge using a cordalette (thanks Fish!) Route description says 'easiest way up Main Wall' but I just want to caution climbers who are new to Hells Gate, that it should not be taken lightly. First pitch is tricky, and the route is wandering - so route finding could be challenging if you don't do your research. Otherwise, fun and fairly well protected!

The first two pitches are fantastic.
The third pitch is stupid and requires a bolt below the peg runner halfway up. You move off a platform and up for 10m of blank, slippery climbing that is 100% blank in terms of protection. If you slip there you are going to deck on the platform below. It isn't hard climbing but its unnecessarily risky. Once you move past that peg runner then you are into the usual HG rubbish at the top which is fine. |

This route was so good -- my favorite of the trip. The main section has the best rock I found at Hells Gate, both solid and grippy. The meat of the climb was a burly section of engaging crack moves (definitely sustained enough to be solid HVS in the UK). The start is just to the left of the large tree at the base of the grey buttress that can be seen to the left of No Angels on the topo image here. Note that the last 15 or so meters after the ledge are VERY crumbly, not difficult but a bit awkward/off-balance. You can descend by rapping off a tree, coming down over what I think is Black Widow. Having scrambled back to the top to deal with a stuck rope before rapping down again, I think walking off would be scary as it's a bit loose with a sheer drop on one side, and the path may be difficult to locate from above.

felt like a sandbag purely for the tension sequence, which was desperate — and a fall would produce a nasty pendulum on sun-bleached tat tied to a very old peg.
