Rockfax Description
Another of the classic E3 routes at Gardom's. Climb the slabby arete to the right of the cave and lean out to reach a good jug. A gut-wrenching mantel gains the upper wall just right of the rib, which proves to be more delicate and bold. © Rockfax
FFA. Dave Morgan 1976. FAA. Pete Biven 1956. Biven reached the mantelshelf using tension, though the moves were done free. The route then zig-zagged up the final buttress all the way out to Moyer's and back!.

βeta: Similar to above - tried this on a hot day and the mantel felt at least 6a. Three 6b climbers couldn't even do the move! Upper wall protection is worse than moyers and has some evil slopers. Not one for a warm summers day. | βeta? | |
