The left side wall of the Rocking Chair Ridge. Climb the cracks to half way and good wires before moving out and right to the next crack. Small gear and a high step to clip the peg gain access to some tricky finishing moves.

βeta: Great unusual climbing, a bit eliminate. The guidebook describes the line as taking the pockets up the middle of the wall (via 2 skyhooks and 2 spike slings?!). You climb it stepping straight off the slab and going for the first low pocket. You can protect the start by bridging the corner and getting gear in the LH crack before coming back down and starting direct via the pockets, getting some more gear in the RH crack before traversing towards the peg. You could bridge up the e3 corner all the way until level with the peg but you miss half the climbing and it would be easier. The peg needs tying off, much more chance of it holding a fall | ||
