★★★ Timeless Realm 21

A real eye-popper with a history of evolution, The first pitch originally involved a tension traverse and climbing over a dangerous spike and loose rock above, Subsequent parties have eliminated both these hazards and in doing so have made it a better climb. Start: A clean corner crack that curves over to the right at its end.

1. 40m Clean jambing with some off-width up to below the spike, Step out right onto the wall, then continue up a thin scam to the roof. Undercling/jam the roof right to the tree. Bolt and wires belay.

2. 35m Traverse right along the grassy ledge to a flakey layback groove. Up this carefully to below roofs, then move across right lo exit crack. Belay.

3. 12m Up over scrub into chimney to top.
