| First ascent: J. McCune, K. Kilroy |
| Route Description: |
| Pitch 1: 5a 30m Climb the groove to a diagonal ramp. Continue up the roof and cracks to a spacious belay ledge/cave. Pitch 2: 6b 20m From the lefthand side of the ledge climb a diagonal rightwards crack and pull strenuously around a roof to gain the most incredible hanging corner. Climb around a second roof to reach the third roof section which is enormous. Follow this via an epic traverse with good gear, underclings and just enough for your feet. Gain another 5 star belay ledge hanging out above the nose, and the sea. Pitch 3: 6b 20m Follow the crack straight up into a final overhanging groove which is passed with surprising difficulty. |
