Chemists

Description

Two interesting roof sequences, and some other moves.

Get up onto a wide ledge, then up the right-facing corner and up over its top. Next pass left of tree on up to a roof to the right of the chimney on right side of the high prow. Over the roof, then easier slab to the top.

. . . (in England + Scotland + some other Commonwealth countries, the word "chemist" can often refer to a retail Pharmacist, "go to the chemist" usually would mean to visit a drugstore).

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Location

Below a right-facing corner which is about five feet right from an overhanging left-facing corner.

Protection

Top-Rope: The obvious tree anchor points above are far back from the top edge of the cliff here, so need a long static line to set up top anchor -- or some cleverness.

    • See Career Guides area page for ideas how to reach top of cliff.

Lead? Protection for trad Leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
