Vie in Western Walls

Fun little problem. Get it? A fairly typical Francis route - a thin, off vertical wall requiring some precision. Begin at the base of the rock step and climb the face above.

An absolute path up the wall right of Flip.

Up the obvious crack right of Ambling and left of Nightstalker. Well protected.

Further right are two widish cracks. This takes the centre of the buttress separating them.

Begin up the vague crack on the front right of this narrow buttress and join the original at the horizontal.

Right of Night Stalker is a short rock step down to an alcove. The Alcove has 2 cracks. This takes the right hand crack. At the top of the crack move right.

A roof above a sloping base. Up onto two horns. Sit on the left horn and stand up. Move left for runners then back right for #4 friend. Continue straight up.
