Second Triple Wall

  • 49 - The Ratcher

    Grade: 5a | First Ascent: -1962
    Rating: 1

    Start from below and just right of a sandy cave. Move up then go rightwards past a sharp fingerhold to reach a flat hold. Stand on this with difficulty, then go easily to the top.

  • 50 - The 8-Foot Kid

    A counter-diagonal to The Ratcher, starting some two metres right at some well-worn, chipped holds.
