Start location:
Approach as for Ordinary Route and start at the
pedestal.
Pitch descriptions:
30m 4b
Climb straight upwards via several steep little
walls to belay on a block above the traverse of
ordinary route.
26m 4c
Climb the steep slab above to pass the left hand end
of the overlap with caution - possible belay to the
right. Climb straight up the slab above to belay in
a niche above and left of a steep patch of grass.
27m 4c
Climb the right slanting groove until 4m below the
large down pointing spike. Traverse delicately left
to a quartz ledge and up a faint rib to a jutting
block. Belay above at the left hand end of the large
capping roof of the slab.
Additional info:
The route manages to avoid most of the current
routes by climbing directly up the centre of the
slab (crosses the direct route in a few places).
There is a quantity of suspect rock at the overlap
halfway up pitch two. |
