A very worthwhile climb that takes on a bouldery lower wall to a superb upper section of brilliant rock. USER COMMENTS
Tricky reach and pumpy mantle, then pumpy scoop/crack.
The lower wall is hard; the top is lovely.
The ledge is covered in rubble
The ledge is no longer covered in rubble.
Unlike Ben I found it quite hard for the grade. I scooped some more dirt off the first mantle. I thought the bolt which protects the second mantle was unnecessarily and dangerously low (and I'm a shortie).
Agreed and agreed John. Not seen much traffic on the route over the years, so it can pick up dirt. Yes, the fall from the bottom of the scoop can be nasty.
Route to the right is The Sponginess of the Wrong Mixture Filler 6b
Cracking varied route, worth two stars. |
