Type: 
Wall
Aspect: 
North East
Walk time: 
20min
Access: 

Approach as for Javelin and Crimea Walls.
Start up the LHS of the scree below the Twin Cracks wall. Follow track up until you below a against a smooth wall - follow the track across R and up ( hand lines) until you are on the spur again continue past the turnoff to the Javelin Wall and instead of moving R to reach the Crimea Wall climb over a small rocky knob (short handline). A rough track with some fixed rope heads up to end below the middle of the Orange Wall.
NB The description in Rock Deluxe South should be avoided as it is about twice as long as the new one.

DESCENT: Back the same way or head to the left of the wall and follow the old track into the stream bed - descend down this with some downclimbing or abseil options and eventually you will arrive at the bottom of the Javelin Wall.

ACCESS NOTE 8.8.20
Sometime before June 2020 there was a large rock fall off the back of Magic Messiah and down the access route to the Orange Wall demolishing the lower hand lines. Some rockfall continued down the gully towards Twin Cracks and some jumped the ridge and went across the traverse track to Javelin Wall. Be careful you don't kick boulders down as you go up/down via the handlines.
