1) Climb the curved right hand edge of the arch and belay sat on the lip/spike (5a,
5.9) 20m
2) Traverse out right to the corner crack ascend with difficulty through some loose
rock. Three points of aid to reach the flake (A1) then follow route 5 to the belay.
Feedback to this route: route is, is absolutely not E1 5a! if you layback up the corner
formed by the flake you're looking at some serious climbing that looks pretty bad. if you
squirm up inside then it looks crappy and grim. ungradeable! serious, though, unless you
have some very big gear...camalot 6/big bros
