Part of
The big wall, on the lower west side of Cloudy Pk.
It is now possible to abseil down the Hourglass Wall following the line of Sharp Shooter, using a single 60m rope.
Go to the top of the small gully to find the top rap station, the finds it’s way onto a large flat ledge, and then down the right side of the gully.
At the bottom of the the gully the descent route follows the Sharpshooter line.
At the 5-6 pitch change, the rap station is 10m right of the belay station.
At the 3-4 pitch change, go rightwards, there is a marker made of webbing, the rap station is just below that.

Lindsay Main would be the person to ask.
FR Fiddler on the Roof is still incorrectly marked on the updated topo.
In reply to FR Fiddler on the Roof is by Michael Eatson
Is it too far right? I am skeptical about the topo, copied from Cant/West Alps Guidebook.

Further right, I believe. Halfway between where BD and FR are currently marked on the topo. Might have been incorrectly copied across from the South Island Rock hand drawn topo. I thought it was a pretty obvious line, particularly the roof pitch and wall above. Climbed with Tawny Wagstaff in Mar 2016
