Rockfax Description
Brilliant climbing on the wall just right of the arete. Start as for Suspension Bridge Arete at a pocketed crystal crack. Move up the crack and then head left to a small groove that leads to a ledge system at 10m. Climb up the wall rightwards on good pockets to a large hole. Follow the crack system leftwards to the finishing corner of Suspension Bridge Arete. Abseil off the post. © Rockfax
