★★ Witch 17

Contexte de la cotation : AU
Longueur: 21m

Aka: Witch Direct Start

description

An area 'classic'. Victoria's first 17, with a crux arguably deserving of at least a grade harder than that. Steep but juggy start as for 'Wishful thinking', then up the obvious crack all the way to the top.

This direct start is now the standard way to do the climb, but 'Witch Original Start' started as for 'Romulus' and traversed across left to the crack.

Humide par temps de pluie
