Torture Chamber Traverse

FA Gill, 1960s
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Begin the problem down the ridge at the end of the first band of rocks, this is the Torture Chamber. The problem is a continuous, juggy traverse up the ridge to the right keeping the feet as high as possible, a long traverse without a doubt. Variations exist, probably all with a FA by Gill too, using smaller holds for the hands and keeping the feet higher. All the variations make the problem more difficult.

Protection

A pad and a spotter can be helpful, but not at all necessary as the route never is more then a few feet above the ground.
