Coddiwomple M5 Telecom Tower has been cleaned of some loose rock and a few good cam placements have been unearthed. There are a couple of fixed pitons that fill in the gaps. It is now a well protected classic pitch that is as good as Friday's Fool, Fastest Indian, Pull Me a Pilsner etc. It protects well with cams. Take doubles from BD .75 -3
