Rockfax Description
5.11 in off-width money - very big cams are essential. Abseil onto the ledge and squirm up the unrelenting crack. Collapse onto the halfway ledge to recompose yourself. The climbing above is only 5.9, but still awkward. Finish up ledges. © Rockfax

βeta: Logistics for future ascentionists: The abseil tree in the Rockfax book is totally wrong, this one will maroon you at the Mancer. There is a more gnarled and larger tree to the right (facing the water). This one is directly over the top out. The beech tree to the left is also an appropriate abseil tree, preserving the onsight by going just out to the right and out of sight of the crack to land on the ledge. On the ledge there is a very convenient tree as an anchor for the belayer. If you're splitting it into two, the "belay" on the ledge takes one valley giant 9, or a merlin, or a pretty tipped out #6. Bon voyage, it's a real treat! | βeta? | |
