| Route Description: |
| East of 'Laurentic' is another prow of rock, which can be accessed either by a 30-40 metre coastal traverse, or by abseil from above if you know the right spot and have ab stakes. This route takes the left (and easier) of two corners. Climb shallow diedre and step left onto ramp using eroded black groove for handholds and protection. At the ramp top, a committing swing right on a big fin of rock* leads to a higher corner, and then to another ramp to a grassy ledge. Climb the slab above on nil protection (you can use the ab rope) to safety on top.* Apparently the fin is dubious- maybe check it out on Abseil? Lovely climbing though. |
