Kevin Thaw adds new E8 to WImberry

© Rockfax
Kevin Thaw has added another new addition to Wimberry. Last year he put up The Order of the Phoenix. This year he has moved a few metres to the right and climbed the blank lower section of the impressive Trident Wall (the finest wall on Gritstone?). All previous routes on this incredible wall had avoided the lower section by traversing in from the side, but this route goes straight up a slight rib to join Neptune's Tool from below. The route, called Sectioned, goes at E8 6c.

Have I got the line right on the photo? I had to guess it a bit. http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=16039 Alan

Wristcutters goes up the wall to the right and straight up into the short overlapping blind groove. From there it's straight up the middle of the wall on pockets and straight through the roof. Phil.

That looks pretty much correct, Alan; start just slightly to the right.
