Right of Widow Maker...5.11
Widowmaker – 50’- 5.10d/ Todd has this as an “R” “X” route, but it is now well bolted to anchor. The crux is early on. You have this fine little short crack on the left you must parlay into quite a distance to the next feature. It was a joy. Now next to it, on the right side of a large tree, is a bastard of a 5.11-12. A new route, still quite mossy and loose in places, offers a really tough start and then a fun small roof to pull on slabby conditions. Well bolted to its own anchor on the overhang above. Worth doing, but you might want to top rope it the first time, this limestone is quite slippery in nature to begin with compared with most. Add moss to the equation and it can be a pain.
