[The start of Vietnamerica, Pordenack Point, Summer 2006, 2 kb]A tense little pitch that is now more serious following a rockfall. Start at a sentry box where a couple of blocks have disappeared. 21m. Move up into the sentry box and make some bold moves to and then up a thin crack in the wall above on crunchy rock to a finishing groove just before the top. © ROCKFAX

Have seconded the new version (17/3/13)since this onsight ascent. Probably harder now the blocks are missing and the gear might be harder to place. E1/2.
