Rockfax Description
An excellent direct line with a distinct crux. A worthy choice for those looking for something a bit more challenging than Amptrax. Start on the right side of the Amptrax bay.
1) 4c, 25m. Ascend broken ground to a belay by a tree.
2) 5c, 30m. A technical and sustained pitch.
3) 6a+, 35m. A lovely pitch, steep at first then up a long wall.
4) 6b+, 35m. Hard moves to start soon ease.
5) 5b, 30m. A long, gradually easing pitch. Abseil back down the route from here, or continue to the walk/scramble descent.
6) 3a, 15m. This is the top pitch of Amptrax. © Rockfax

Show βeta
βeta: Vulture roost, perch or nest 5m above P3 (6a+) top belay anchors. Disturbed a vulture that circled and returned to the roost. We abbed down quietly to avoid further disturbance. Probably best avoided until end of nesting season (July?). No other adjacent routes go close. | βeta? | |
