, 2 kb]20m. An immaculate pitch on the best rock that Sharpnose has to offer. Start at a low ledge a few metres right of the arete. Low in the grade. Photo on page 3. 23m. From the right-hand end of the ledge, make a series of technical moves up a thin crack on the right to better holds. Continue up the wall via another crack to a quartz break that heads diagonally left to the top. Follow this line boldly to the top. © ROCKFAX

Lowered off from half height 1/10/11. Today I got 6ft from the final traverse before pumping out and resting on the rope. I finished the route to get beta for next time.

Almost fluffed it at the top, thinking it was over and grabbing for the top somehow missed the finishing jugs! Recouped and found them, great route.

Last route of the day, got pumped near the top and rested once or twice.
