Description

Hand jam your way up an obvious 5.8 lieback crack to a sandy ledge. From here, you can lower off a questionable bolt anchor, or you may continue diagonally up and left via strenuous finger-locks (5.11). The rock on the second section doesn't see a lot of ascents and is therefore on the chossy side, but increased traffic and (perhaps) a motivated bloke with a brush could turn this route into a classic pitch.

Location

You can't miss this line; it's the obvious left-facing corner system.

Protection

Hands to fingers. Bring doubles in the finger size if continuing past the first anchor. NOTE: there are bolts for the second section of the climb, but they are fairly old and rusted. If you intend to clip them, I recommend placing your own gear as well to back them up.
