Rockfax Description
An Avon rite of passage. Good climbing with a bold feel, although the gear improves as height is gained. Start at a peg and nut belay on a high ledge reached via the initial 9m of Pink Ginsane's first pitch. Take the easy-angled groove above the belay to a peg. Step up above the peg and pull out left onto the wall, good small nut. Move up and bridge right to a point below an overhang with pegs below it. Pull over the overhang, good nut in borehole, to a peg before moving down right and then up to an overhang, peg and another good nut. Traverse left below the overhang past a peg to a stance at a quarry spike and bolt. Finish up Think Pink or abseil off. © Rockfax

βeta: Nut stuck - first nut placement above the first peg on main pitch. Took some knocks while trying to retrieve so backup (I was unable to free it on ab). There's space for small nut just next to it (I placed a peenut). | βeta? | |
