Rockfax Description
A traditional solution to the gap right of Tequila... which has seen only a handful of ascents. A demanding route which is very difficult to onsight. Start below the large flake on Mortlock's Arete and climb to this. Make a desperate traverse left to clip a bolt then continue directly up with no respite to gain a shallow groove and crucial small nut protection (difficult to place). Finish direct to the belay of Mortlock's Arete. © Rockfax

FA. S.Nadin, R.Davies 3.7.84. It was bolted in 1988 and received many ascents. These were removed later. 03/Jul/1984.
