Description
This is the [eighth] route from the right. It is a fun line with several variations. It can be done as a 5.8 if you take the easiest line, or a 5.10 if you take the hardest line.
This route is a bit of a squeeze job (stay left of the bolt line or you'll trespass on
Topless Etiquette
!) in between
Topless Etiquette
and
Silver Glide
. Not included in the Rossiter guide.
Climb straight up a face past three bolts. Move up right and reach left to clip the fourth bolt above the lip of a roof. You now have three options:
-
Traverse left to a good crack to surmount the roof (8).
-
Tackle the roof straight on via a finger pocket and a reach up left to the good crack (10b).
-
Climb the roof on the right (9).
Continue up to the second roof at the fifth bolt. You now have two options:
-
Move right around the roof using a groove (8).
-
Tackle the roof directly using thin holds (10b to 10d). The more you stay in line with the fifth bolt, the harder the climbing.
Continue up past a final bolt to the anchor.
Protection
6 bolts, 2 bolt anchor (shared with
Topless Etiquette
).
