Access Banned

The landowner isn't interested in having climbers on his land. Access is periodically challenged by the access rep.

16m. To the left of Marcus Atilius is an overhanging wall. Start at the base of the wall and climb easy ledges to gain the wall left of the arete. Pull up and right using the arete to gain a good jug in the middle of the wall. Go up then move left to gain a good hold in the overhanging wall. A fingery pull gains a good break. Continue up the wall using mostly good holds in the breaks to gain the belay.

βeta: The belay is now moved a bit higher meaning you have to get the final good holds. Also I've cleaned off the loose ledges at the bottom thus making the start more pleasant.

βeta: A bit reachy but ok for midgets. Snapped a couple of small crimps but still climbs nicely.
