Description:

This is a broken slope to the right of 'Devil in the White House' at Golden Wall, left of a small gully. A mix of rock types and forms, offering much exploring of climbing moves. Had been popular with complete beginners and families.

2 out of 5 stars a means to an end

Gear led this as an easy alternative to get to the anchors on Devil. It was a weird windy and occasionally chossy line. The most interesting stuff was near the top where it became quite a bit more vertical and required a couple semi-moves to line up with the anchor for Devil. Grade depends on whether you try to do this or veer off in an easier direction to focus on this line exclusively. Still, I thought it was worth it rather than rap or make the perilous scramble to TR Devil.

It might be intriguing for newbies while the other play on the harder routes in the area.

Great for very beginners, not very challenging for experienced beginners.
