| "Short, pleasant and a good warm-up for trachyte." START:A cairn below a steep black wall which runs into large roofs at about 25m. 1. 18m (crux). Up on slick rock then move right onto perched blocks, finally up to small ledge. 2. 33m. Good, strong, sharp holds to below roofs. Right 9m then follow the roofs around and up the corner. | |||||
