Rockfax Description
(The Bishop) An interesting line at an amenable grade with an exciting pendulum high on the cliff. It is bold in places, and despite being the easiest way up the central section of the lower walls, it doesn't see much attention.
1) N6-, 45m. As for Ypperstepresten.
2) N5+, 48m. Climb half of Ypperstepresten's second pitch, but climb straight up a slab via thin cracks. Pull through a small roof and climb up to a stance.
3) N5-, 35m. Continue up left-facing corners to a tiny stance.
4) N5/A0, 50m. Traverse left, then continue straight up a line of flakes and holds to the left side of the Big Roof (this section is shared with Reisen). Now pendulum left (no fixed gear!) to reach the upper, black basalt dike on Ypperstepresten.
5) and 6) N5-, 105m. As for Ypperstepresten pitches 4 and 5. © Rockfax
