BONSAI PIPELINE 5.11a 10m 22nd August 2006
Traverses the entire wall from right to left taking the least line of resistance. All of the following routes initially start along this before exiting at various points along the traverse. . Traverse in from the landward side of the arch eastwards underneath and through the arch. Continue traversing along the shelf to a no-hands rest in a cave. Move left to a slot beneath the arête and a knee-bar rest. Climb up and leftwards on the lip of the overhang to a horizontal rail and shake-out. Step leftwards to a good rest at the Bonsai tree. The traverse now continues at this level before grovelling up onto a no-hands resting ledge. From here it is possible to follow the ledge system easily up and left to finish. Although this finish is loose and above a lower ledge system and is therefore not recommended. If you don’t fancy this finish then it is possible to jump off into deep water after the grovel onto the ledge system. The best finish however is to climb Pidgin Politics.
