The Sentinel

The Word: A one route wonder.
The Crag Classic: West Face of The Sentinel (** 20)
Sun/shade: WFotS would get sun all day.
Wet weather options: Sit under the overhang on the south side.
Rock type: Granite
Available Grades; Best Grades: 20

The Details: Halfway up the walk to the Castle you'll pass this rather impressive balanced boulder. I really just wanted to put this photo up.

Access: Park at The Cathedral car park and walk E (away from the cathedral), following the path up the hill. The boulder is on the ridge.

Descent(s): Throw an end down to be attached to a tree then rap off the other side. There's apparently a "horn" of rock on top which is fairly dubious to rap off.

The Sentinel is on the left, and that's Le Soeuf Peak slab on the right. The tourist walking track comes up to the saddle between them and keeps coming towards camera down the gully. A climber's track heads past The Sentinel and onwards to The Castle. That's the non-climbing side of The Hump in the background.
Nice alpine glade
