The Maw

Description

This may be the most unique route at Crosier. It looks like an overhanging offwidth and squeeze chimney - the

Harding Slot

of Crosier, BUT slabbing, slopers, liebacking, stemming, and crimps. No offwidth or chimneying is required. It looks intimidating but climbs very nicely!

P1. 5.10c/d. Belay at a bolt at the base. Head up the slab to a thin crack out a roof. Take slopers up into the overhanging maw (height-dependent crux). Once established inside, make a blind clip out right. Head right out of the chimney under the chockstones, and climb flakes to the anchors. Wild!

Location

It is fifty feet right of

The Shnoz

.

Protection

Six bolts.
