UKC Logbook Description
Good climbing with a sting in the tail, and spaced but good protection, all the pegs can be backed up. Climb direct up an undulating groove above the belay ledge to a wide break. Traverse left along this past a small niche (block now missing) to beneath the higher peg, switch on your muscles and make some steep, exciting pulls up the wall on mostly good holds to gain the rib and abseil tree.

Arnis Strapcans (Ed Ward Drummond, P Morgan, C Woodhead with 1 pt aid Jun/1967) May/1976.
