BUTTERHOLE DIRECT 5.10A NEW VARIATION TO BUTTERHOLE

Image
A direct variation has been bolted to the right of the butterhole.   5.9, 5.7, 5.10a .  It is called BUTTERHOLE DIRECT  Fa.  Adam matias and brendan clark and ben strachan.  July 2020.  The start is located about 25 m to the right if butterhole just along a short ledge.   Start in a small corner with a steep step to gain the first bolt.  It carries up 3 pitches and then meets up with the third pitch of BH.   The variation is set up for 30 m raps.  DO NOT KILL YOURSELF.   The raps are about 29.5 meters each.  You better knot those ends son or yer gonna die !  The standard rap for butterhole is always an option as well.  And guess what... its still not a sport climb.   If you are not really solid you might die.   The risk is real.  Big falls, run out.  Dont be a pooner.   There are now 8 pitches established on this fantastic moderate face.    More to come.
