Node
19 Revolver

The route takes the same initial buttress as 'Twilight Recess' to the large ledge at 25m and then the steep red groove to the overhang immediately left of the recess. It continues up the exposed slab to the top. Start 3m left of 'Twilight Recess'.

  1. 15m 15 Climb a short steep crack for 3m then move up rightwards to an awkward move into a shallow niche. Move left to a ledge and up a pleasant slab to a ledge and chock belay.

  2. 12m 13 Move over blocks to the groove and ascend the right wall to the large ledge. Belay at the right end.

  3. 15m 19 Traverse a few meters right and make some strenuous moves over the bulge up to the base of the steep red groove (4m). Continue up the groove for 8m (sustained), avoiding the loose crack in the right wall, then move diagonally right across the shattered face onto a ledge and peg belay on the right arete.

  4. 12m 17 Immediately behind is a shallow groove which is ascended with difficulty to the overhang. Traverse easily left to a large ledge.

  5. 27m 17 Move up and traverse a few meters on good foot rail at the base of the slab. Climb up 3m and traverse right to a thin crack (peg runner) and continue up rightwards to the right arete. (sustained). Move a few meters up the arete and step left back onto the slab and follow the crack line to the top.

Notes:

  1. A very fine route with a superb climax on the exposed top pitch.

  2. Please do not climb this route between April and October (inclusive) due to nesting of black eagles.
