Tenuite Wall

Type
Sector
Part of
Paines Ford

Up above the bush on a small platform with a steepish routes. Quite popular and dries quickly after rain. Because it is above the trees there is no shelter from the afternoon sun in summer. A variety of traverses have also been done eg starting at Fat Cats and finishing up Dr Terrific

Aspect
West
Approach

Take the embankment track to Track 3 - just where the embankment track comes out of the trees and leaves the river. The track passes the small SLAVE Wall, the overhanging CARNAGE Wall, then drop down below the large roof of the PANTECHNICON wall, pass the LOWER Tenuite wall then take the UP track.
