Start below a piton about 15 ft. up and 10 feet to the right of Horsman. Climb to the piton then straight up and a bit to the left to small righ corner till you get to a small roof. Move right and thru overhanging section. After clearing overhang either climb straight to the top thru a chimney or climb diagonaly up and to the right to bolted anchors. ( It is posible to set a top rope of this anchors to top rope Coronary )

Descent Options:

If you go thru a chimney - walk off using The Uberfall descent. If you go to bolted anchors ( with chains )- use those to rap off.

5 out of 5 stars n/a

Finally got on the route (on t/rope) after several years since my first 2 tries, and got up clean. Way happy. Pauline belayed me.

Pretty easy on toprope. Try not to have your belayer lower you into the tree on the way down.

4 out of 5 stars .

Seconded this line cleanly in August, sent first go on lead. Dropping the whole 'biner of nuts in the sizes I needed, and forgetting to take any Green C4s made it into a much more hairy lead than it should have been because I had to pull the crux with bad gear under my feet. My fault and stupidity all around. I can't think of any reason why I dropped the nuts-- at an easy comfortable stance near the bottom, other than my fingers being numb from the cold at the beginning of the day. I thought I clipped it back to the harness, but obviously I missed.

4 out of 5 stars Did this as a warm up today

Felt much better than the last time we warmed up on this climb. Only a couple of awkard moves (mostly likely my poor technique!)
