Tank Trap

A wonderful stemming problem in an overhanging corner.

Start up through the dusty beginning using small feet and lieback handholds where the thin corner crack opens up enough to accept fingertips. Delicate stemming with a big move or two is required to the fourth bolt (getting to the fourth bolt is a relief—it feels like a long way from the third).

At this point the angle eases a bit and the holds get bigger. Continue up and stand atop a ledge on the left, then finish with the last eight or ten feet of face climbing to the anchors.

The right-facing corner at the bottom left of the gully.

7 bolts (+1 optional, manky pin), ring anchors.
