The obvious (if a guide book editor had $1 for every time a route description included the seven-letter ‘o’ word…) clean off-width on the lower section of the Eiger Wall. Classic jamming with hard hand stacks and knee locks. Friends #5 and 6 needed.

What's the story with this route then? Has it been done? Does anyone know? Who wrote that report in the '87 journal?
First ascent 29/03/87 (not 1997) according to the 1996 Taranaki guidebook, though some say this might be a spoof (there are Taranaki crags called Warwicks Castle and Humphries Castle...) - see "Egmont Rock Summer" in NZAJ 1987, p. 60.
