Description:

Gain the right-arching corner up and right of Bombelay. Follow out the steep corner past 2 fixed pins and 5 bolts.Move up and right over a series of tiered roofs to the anchors. 100' Caution- Due to the lowering angle, this takes every bit of a 60 meter rope. What the ends of your rope!
