Rockfax Description
A loose route - great care and attention is needed from leader and belayer alike! Avoiding the suspect flake at the top is 6a+. You have been warned! © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The rough line of the old Korean Route. Climb as an eliminate, as the wall either side are deathly loose. Start using the original bolts then follow new staples on the flat wall being very careful for your belayers sake. If you avoid the very suspect flake at top it's more like 6a+. You have been warned, if I was you I wouldn't do it!
