04 - Polomint HVS 4c Length: 18m A Tees, B Magowan (2/5/99) Not much in the middle and seems to get thinner the more you "suck on it". Directly below, and left of the rock on top of Teardrop Wall, is a small cleaned platform at about 2m. From the top of this. climb directly up, until a short traverse can be made to the right to gain an obvious line of weakness. Gear is poor, almost non-existent, until considerably further up, but the climbing is excellent. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route
