Belly Roll

FA Doug Kerr and Norton Smithe, 1955

UPDATED 

Description

You haven't really climbed it unless you've gotten inside the chimney and done the "belly roll"!

P1: Climb the wide crack until it leans leftward and opens into a squeeze chimney. Dive in there and worm your way upward (your belayer will die laughing; make sure they don't have a camera) to easier ground. Continue up past a corner, and belay on the ledge. (5.4, 70ft.)

P2: Go up the short, right-facing corner, then up past a crack to the top. (5.2, 50ft.)

Descend via rappel, Radcliffe, or the Uberfall Descent.

Location

A short walk past the Überfall, between the popular climbs Dennis and Jackie. Look for a body-width crack that leans to the left.
