Crossbones/East Wall

Adjacent Routes
<< Crossbones < Wind and Wuthering  |  Wombat > Doubting Thomas >>

A fine expedition at a reasonable grade. The original line had a strange first pitch starting as for Wombat but this combination is much more logical and at a consistent grade.
1) 5a, 10m. Pitch 1 of Crossbones.
2) 5a, 23m. Traverse easily leftwards for 5m until you can move up to gain a corner up and left. Climb this then move left to finish.
FA. (East Wall) Alan Austin, Brian Evans 1961. They used 1pt of aid on the weird first pitch.
