Description

5.11 face climbing over some interesting features leads to a hollow flake (fragile rock!) below a small roof. Struggle through a difficult/awkward sequence to gain a decent rail and easier climbing to the anchors.

Rated 5.12c in the Williams guide, though a fair bit more difficult than the similarly graded Pettifogger.

Location

The middle route on the White Wall, in between Dining at the Altar and Pettifogger. The start has a distinct crescent-shaped rail leading to the high first bolt.

Scramble up to the ledge and traverse left from the start of Pettifogger or climb direct up the seam and dirty face.

Protection

6 bolts and bolted anchor. Stick clip for the first bolt.
