Rockfax Description
A bold, airy and super sustained voyage. Start at a small tree on a ledge down and right of Malbogies.
1) 5b, 23m. Move up the blunt rib on the left to gain the right end of an overlap (small cams in the break). Move up right past the right side of the overlap (peg), and then back left to a side-pull and wire. Head up to join and follow Malbogies to its first stance.
2) 5b, 28m. Down climb from the stance for 5m and traverse left on good holds before moving up to good small wires. Move left again and then down to a small overhung niche. Reach left to good holds and move up to a peg. Climb a groove (peg) to the overhang and traverse left for 6m to a peg and large cam belay.
3) 5b, 26m. Traverse back right for 3m to a gap in the overhangs and make a puzzling move up to get established above them. Climb the groove and wall on its left past various pegs to an overhang and move out left around the blunt arete. Finish up the easier wall. © Rockfax
