Route Description:

Route is found about 15m to the right of the Guardian Crustacean Spits Fire at a left facing corner.Climb short blunt arete to ledge and make an awkward move right to a left facing corner, a small piece of gear is available but not very encouraging (or a direct start is possible straight up), make a difficult move up the corner and then continue more easily up the corner till blocked by a roof, traverse left to an airy and dramatic position. If you have any puff left climb acrobatically over the roof to easier ground.Have placed this on, provisionally, for Ali and it may be subject to amendment; PC.

Its not only me that gives ridiculously long names to routes. Nobody in their right mind could blame me for an E4.
