16 Century Plus Crack
1 14 12m
2 16 15m

Starts in the open book corner to the left of 'Slap and Tickle', climb easily up large blocks to a widening crack. Layback off an easy hand jam and climb the short crack to top out on a large sloping ledge with flax bushes.

Set up a TRAD belay in the cracks on either side of the solid/stable massive wedged boulder. The money is the next crack (on the RHS of the ledge) which starts off as hands then fist then a short offwidth crux. Worth having a BD 2,3 and 4 cam.

Once the crack has been exited climb easily trending right below the large “diving board” roof. Once below the diving board step right and traverse for 1 metre on an exposed ledge system (above the slab of 'Slap and Tickle').

Finally, high step up over the bulging boulders and scramble carefully to the anchors of “slap and tickle” There is a small pine tree below the anchors which can be slung for those feeling a little faint hearted. Helmet recommended.
