Description
A good route with something for everyone.
P1 5.10b. A thin crack heads up a little buttress to the left of Angels Fright chimney to end on a ledge with a tree.
P2 5.10c. Crux pitch. Up to a thin crack then thin moves over on overlap, straight up to a ledge.
P3 5.9. Wander up a face to a ledge with bushes.
P4 5.10a. A wild pitch. Up past a couple of bolts to a blank impasse, a "you've gotta be kidding me" traverse right (and down a little) heads to an arch which is followed to the outrageous "Ubangi Lips" (or Whale's Mouth) a kind of horizontal bomb-bay chimney which turns out to be okay - through this at a weakness to a ledge.
P5 Steps and an easy corner lead up to another ledge.
P6 5.10+. Thin face climbing in a lonely position leads past three bolts and to the top.
Location
Start just left of Angel's Fright chimney. Descend The Friction Route.
