Piton Route >>
45m. A Start up Piton Route then continue up the obvious crack and groove instead of moving right. Overcome the crux by moving left as the crack briefly closes, relief then comes at a good ledge (optional belay). From here the crack widens considerably for an easy finish to the top.

Hidden - 2011

Happened to have given my guidebook to someone else, and climbing without spied this, the only line on Holly Tree Wall without someone on it already. Probably someone had done it before but there was no record of it, so we called it Piton Blade (being on a CUMC meet we used the same naming scheme as Jack Longland did for his considerably more impressive achievement 71 years prior!)
