Tyla quarry upper/ the obvious thin crack located between The Tremenal Terrors and Pan Narrans. Start by Mantle over ledges to gain the thin crack. Continue to follow the thin crack using lay-aways and large crimps to the top. A dirty exit mantle awaits. Sling the boulders on the grassy slope for belay. Alternatively and preferably due to the chossy nature of the exit mantle: Prepare the belay prior to starting the route, thus giving yourself an anchor point to protect the exit. |
