UKC Logbook - 'The Fifth Tequila'

65m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
This is a combination of the first pitch of Fifth Avenue and immaculate upper crack of a route called Tequila Sunrise.
1) 5c, 30m. As for Fifth Avenue to the first spike on the left halfway along the upper ramp.
2) 5c, 20m. The splitter crack in the right wall is almost too enticing not to climb. Gain the crack and do battle with sustained jamming moves to reach some good spikes on the arete. Now follow thin cracks just in from the edge of the buttress to belay by cracks just before the crag turns into a steep hillside.
3) 15m. Scramble out up the hillside. Remain roped up and treat it as a pitch until above the boulders. © Rockfax

Appears to have been used to bail off the route previously but I'd advise avoiding the temptation to lower off of it - the whole spike now moves and appears to be held in place by chewing gum and hope	βeta?
