Rockfax Description
Altogether a better way up the wall. Climb Red Wall to the sandy ledge/stance. Traverse the delicate wall on the left all the way to the arete, on a continuously surprising set of holds, for a superbly exposed finale. © Rockfax

βeta: The arete after traverse does take good gear in the small letterbox...Rock 5 camming at left end and a 0.5 friend is bomber at RH edge.

βeta: The flake at the far end of the traverse used to give a gear placement (though perhaps not as good as one might have thought!). Without it the climbing is scarcely harder but unless you are carrying small cams its certainly more thought provoking.

βeta: Fantastic route. Hard boulder problem start, VS 4c to the sandy ledge (though the last moves to the ledge are much harder if you're short, at least 5a), then VS 4b on the traverse which is unprotected from the crack of the Direct to the top of the arete. The flake at the far end of the traverse (which might have been a gear placement) has very recently come off.

βeta: Has you wondering where the holds are when you look up at it, but they come just where you need them. The final arete is a joy.
