"The obvious layback crack up the amphitheatre. Mega!"

  2. Move up the scoop and back left to a rail. Go right and up before moving left to a ledge. Climb into the crack to a hanging belay just higher.

  3. Climb past the roof and up the crack. Stance on the right.

  4. Climb the break and wall to the top (65m).
