★ Signalbox Arete 6b

This route offers plenty of positive handholds for a simple ascent. It culminates with a typical mantel finish.

The Sandstone is very soft -- leading is not allowed. Most climbs are top-roped, and ropes should be extended over the edge and set up in a way such as to minimize the wear on the rock. Top-out and down-climb is preferred to lowering. Abseiling is, also, forbidden.
