Trench Warfare | E7 Trad climb


A monster off-width roof crack. A bit of a strange one in that after 60’ of roof wrestling across a cavern you can just step off, as first ascensionist Jonny Woodward did.

Brad Jackson was first to turn the lip, calling the harder variation Wench Warfare, 5.13.

More recently, nets have been rigged underneath the crack to protect solo ascents, transforming the climb into a boulder problem.
