Eeyore's Tail

8th Pitch- 40m- 5.7/ I guess this pitch is an either you “love it” or “hate it” pitch. If you want to rap the route, you need to rap now. Otherwise take on the chimney which is easy climbing, although a little mossy, until you are directly beneath the roof. Easy to place gear along the way. At the crux position below the roof, face out and sling a medium sized chockstone with three shoulder length runners or 2 long ones. This will protect the crux move of coming out and onto the left wall where you climb face holds to the finish. You have a lot of rock fall above that you will kick out onto the 2nd if you are not careful. Extend your belay from the bolts back to the edge and hang out over the chimney as the 2nd climbs so as rope drag does not drop rock.
