Silverback Extension

3 pitch extension to "One of bishops best sport pitches"

p1. climb the Silverback, .12a bolts 30m

p2. 5.9 gear 25m. Not classic, it just gets ya up there, so hold the judgments.. Traverse left on the ledge, pull a short hand crack roof and continue up blocky corner and out right over a bush to a two bolt stance. Theres a few loose looking blocks around here to watch out for but I have yarded on them all with a crow bar and removed what I could..

Bring/tag a 1,2,3 and a finger piece or two for this pitch

p.3 sustained classic stem dihedral, 5.11+? More technical than Silverback but not that pumpy 9 bolts, no gear.

P.4 roof crack. 5.10+ gear, bolts. Climb a vertical handcrack to a roof (#3 cammer) clip the first bolt and back clean the #3 for later and jam the bolted roof crack to the anchor. you might want a finger piece and something else after the bolts too, I dont remember.

Its hard to describe the nature of the crack so I wont try, but you'll understand why we bolted it once you see.

I highly recommend applying a fat wad of tape around hands here, the crack is sharp! I don't normally tape up, but tape makes it feel easier (.10+), and then you wont worry about filleting the skin off your hands. Its like a #4s splitter with a #1 opening..

1x cammers from fingers to #3
