Only the Good Die Young Wall

Type
Altitude
1m
Part of

The premier wall at Baring Head. While other walls may have harder climbs, none match the Only the Good Die Young Wall in terms of intimidation level, length and overall quality of the routes. High (seven metres), slightly overhanging and sustained, none of the routes are easy: climbing this wall is the mark of the true Baring Head climber. The wall was named in memory of Phil Herron, after a song by Billy Joel. Herron died aged 19 on the glacier below Torre Egger in Patagonia in 1977.
