First climbed on natural gear, this climb was retro-bolted by one of the first ascensionists in 2004. It makes an engaging, sporty outing. The biggest holds you’ll ever fall off! Don’t swing around when back-cleaning or abseiling the route so that you don’t cut your rope on the abrasive edges. It’s happened before!

Starts as for Safety in Numbers. At the 3rd bolt, traverse right through edges and ledges. Mantle over to the anchor.

Bridge into the corner and then balance your way over to the arête. At the top of the arête, move right onto the slab and suck it up to finish.
