60 meters of arm blasting traverse pump!
start at drawbridge and finish at the far right of the crag by topping out.
Can be broken down logically intro 5 sections.
section 1 7A
good rest
section 2 7B
poor rest
section 3 - 7C/+ -(powerful 5 move boulder in an overhanging scoop)
very good rest
section 4 - 7B+/C (18 move power endurance)
very good rest
section 5 (Ha Ha billy no mats) -7b+

The meat of the route is doing sections 1, 2 and 3. this is probably 8b+ or font 8A you then get a very good rest but not no hands and have a final tricky section to complete, then waltz along billy no mats to victory.

section 1+2 is a good 7C traverse on its own and worth doing as well as doing section 3 on its own is also worth going to do, very weird boulder.

Well done, watched Ste Mac on it a few weeks ago and looks like great climbing. I look forward to trying the easy bits

Inspired by doing the Mandela Traverse on Saturday? Is this the start of a quest to shuffle sideways along all the north's premier bolt clipping venues!
