Tower of Babel 42m HVS 5a
Posted by: John Daly, 24.10.202405.10.2024, John Daly, Dave Geere Trad’ training for Sport climbers!
Start just right of Blue Danube, the first corner of which can be used as a chicken out alternative start.
P1 17m 4c Climb the wide crack between two huge flakes to gain a standing position on the top flake (large slings advised), then traverse left past some easy steps and climb a smooth slab to its top where a step right gains a tree stump belay.
P2 25m 5a Climb the slab above direct exiting just left of a heather clump. A short blocky edge above leads to a ledge beneath the top slab which is climbed delicately up its right hand side. Nut belays up a grassy ramp on the left.
