Description

The start has proven itself to be difficult for some, but don’t be afraid to use the wedge. Not doing so makes it a bit harder. Once established on the climb, clamber up jugs to a nicely feature face below a roof. Step up to the roof, clip the bolt on your right, and make your way through it. Continue up blocky features, and step onto a face and arete feature to finish at chains.

Location

From the west, traverse along the cliff bottom, and step down a few steps at a cave-like overhang. Continue east under a buttress (the start of

Rainbird

and

Redbird

) around to a corner (

Tenacious

), and find a large boulder, the Impact Zone (so-called due to the propensity for plunging projectiles to impact in that area). Continue under and beyond the IZ Boulder, and find a severely undercut face with some smaller boulders beneath it.

The Pedestal

is the left route, and

Bashful

is the right route.

To the right and around the corner from

The Pedestal

and

Bashful

, you will find a large, sharp-edged wedge of a boulder at the bottom of a large crack system. Just to the right of this on the left side of a beautiful slab is a line of green ascending the wall. This is the Green Hornet.

Protection

11 bolts + chains.
