The Goonch

This route is squeezed between '

Play With Your Balls

' and '

Flying Fish

', and climbs the rib of rock that separates both routes.

A contrived start on the arete leads to a thin crux on bad smears and sidepulls (stay off of the crack to the left for full value). Great slapping up the rest of the lower rib ends at a horizontal break, which provides a nice rest at mid-route. Tackle a hard move getting onto the headwall and negotiate your way to the anchor of '

Flying Fish

' after passing the directional bolt.

It is named after the giant, man-eating catfish caught by Jeremy Wade in the fresh water rivers of the Himalaya.

Use one directional bolt located down and left from the anchors of '

Flying Fish

.'
