16 pitches.
VI 5.9 A4
A fantastic route through many spectacular features. The Coral Sea is the aid crux, with slightly suspect rock, a ledge at the bottom of the pitch, and some free climbing. The Wing is the steepest pitch, and is truly awesome. The top of the Golden Finger of Fate (perhaps one of the most beautiful features on the wall) is a thrutch. The Golden Blade variation (FA Eric George 1997) avoids this but looks desperate.
