Description:

Located on the steep wall left of Black Arrow. Climb a few feet up the chimney to the first clip. Swing left onto the face, and let the "magic" begin. Follow the improbable line of bolts, with flakes, cracks, pockets and ledges appearing like "magic", allowing this imposing face to be climbed at a moderate 10a. The crux comes early, reaching the big pocket at 15 feet. Destined to become an area classic. Kerry's first new route--stand back world!!

Descent Options:

Chains or walk-off right.

4 out of 5 stars A good one!

Crux is low on the route and crimpy. As said well bolted you can probably skip a few clips to make it more interesting if your feeling it!
