Rockfax Description
80m. A diagonal crack-line (Wild Side E6 6c) cuts across both walls of Carnmore Corner. This route climbs the wall to the left of the thin crack running vertically above the diagonal crack on the left wall (Jivaro Crack E4) on immaculate rock. Start by scrambling up to a diagonal break.
1. 20m 5c Climb the break, which has an awkward bulging start.
2. 35m 6a Go up the diagonal crack a short way, then traverse horizontally left on jugs to the base of a thin crack. Climb this, then go straight up into a groove system which is followed out left to a scoop. Step across the scoop on to the arĂȘte and follow this past twin cracks to a ledge and belay at the base of a corner.
3. 25m 5a Climb the corner.
