South Face

FA R. Rossiter & R. Wolf, soloed, 1988

Description

This climb can be done on of a few ways, and whilst the technical crux will probably be going over the roof, the insecurity and lack of gear on the 5.6 slab is probably going to be the most memorable climbing on the route. Take a pair of real climbing shoes on this, not scrappy dirty approach shoes.

Location

The very South end of the East Ironing Board can be climbed to the left (slab with rough slopers) or to the right (smoother dishes and 'scoops') up to one of several options in which one might go over the roof with fairly minimal difficulty.

Protection

A piece or two may be placed before turning the roof, which may or may not be very good. Count on soloing the slabby part.

The large tree atop the first section over the roof is a very secure belay, however, and lends assurances that the second is in no danger.
