Bear Hug (23) 50m

Ascends the top part of the Ordinary Route rap access.

Technical climbing with lots of air, followed by an easier second pitch. Abseil down (45m) to hanging rap station as for Ordinary route access. Suggest you leave the rope there for retreat. Take 10 draws.

1) 20m (23) Lurch left off belay to flake, keep scuttling left a few moves then head diagonally up slab past funkiness on arete.

2) 30m (20) Up delicate and sportingly bolted wall.
