Rockfax Description
A wonderful route tracing a sustained path up the Great Wall on immaculate rock. Take lots of small wires. Start 5m right of Eroica at a short steep slab beneath a thin crack system.
1) 6a, 46m. Step onto the slab and move up left to the thin cracks. Climb the thin crack system to two short right-leaning cracks. Move up the wall rightwards past a white quartz patch and enter the slim left-facing corner above. Follow the corner to a tricky exit onto easier-angled rock. Work up the slabby, lichen-splashed wall to a stance beneath a leaning corner.
2) 5c, 20m. Climb the corner and steep flake to an easier exit. © Rockfax
