THE GARGOYLE 5.10a, 280m
The route climbs up amazing water worn, stippled rock connecting crack system with long run out slabs (30m) of easy and airy climbing. The crux’s are all well protected and the gear is good. Route finding is tricky. One bolt was added (with a hand drill) for the 3rd belay. The route finishes via the Kain Route.
