55m, 3 pitches.
A direct line between Eliminate ‘A’ and Isengard/Samba Pa Ti. Start 2m right of Isengard.
1 25m (5c). Climb directly up the short wall to ledges. Weave first right then left between the bulges on the blunt rib below the giant detached flake. Belay.
2 10m (6c). From the top of the flake, an explosive start enables the ledge above to be reached. Belay here.
3 20m (6c). Follow Samba Pa Ti to the roof. Pull over this and traverse leftwards towards a peg. Powerful and technical climbing above (peg) leads to sanctuary over the bulge. Climb the wall moving slightly rightwards over a bulge into a short finishing corner.
