Oratorio

Location: Glenagivne Wall (The Music House)
Grade: HVS  5a
Length: 15m
First ascent: Geoff Thomas, Alan Tees Oct 21
Route Description:
On the middle tier (or intermezzo) there is a prominent crack that runs through 2 bulges.  Traverse the terrace leftwards for a short distance until you reach a white quartzite vein.  Start a metre or so to the right, and climb a short crack until it meets the quartzite vein at the first bulge. The first bulge is the crux, and is surmounted using a small toe hold on the left. Continue over the upper bulge, without much respite, to where the crack disappears into steep heather, where there are 2 pegs and a lower off.  Excellent climbing.
