Description:

This is a great variation to the 4th pitch of Atlantis. From the anchor climb the stunning flake/crack. The flake eventually peters out into fragile features. From here make a slightly-scarey traverse out right to a mantle at the anchors. Either rap and complete Atlantis or pendulum (or free a 5.12 friction) out to crack system out right.

4 out of 5 stars good

a good addition to Atlantis if you have the time and energy. Will get easier when more people try this and the corn flakes are scraped off the traversing section, which is wild.

Yeah, traversing on a large musical flake.

Spooky traverse at the top. Surely the flakes in this section will not stand the test of time.
