[Nearing the top of the classic Solid Air, 3 kb]One of the best single-pitches at the grade on the Culm Coast. Good protection from wires. Start around 8m right of the arete below a small quartz patch. Photo on page 125 and cover. 23m. Climb up a thin crack-line to the quartz patch and continue to a small ledge above. Finish up the wall and cracks, keeping just left of a large patch of vegetation. © ROCKFAX
The guide appears to have Solid Air and Shivering Timbers in the wrong order and has them numbered incorrectly on the diagram.
