A new route at Arthur's Circus.

 Double Trouble or Triple Treat                 37m       17

The pillar at the N end of Arthur’s Circus.    A traverse, a wall and cracks with a few perched blocks on the way. Trad.

Start as for Polymorpha; abseil in to a block at the bottom of the corner.

Climb 4m up the left edge of the wall to gain a hand traverse sans footholds. Place some gear and head right without hesitation for 3-4m to the nose.

Steeply up the nose until one can move to easier ground. Belaying to a tree here will avoid rope drag.

Climb gently over two large stacked blocks just right of the nose to hand cracks.

Move carefully past a loose flake above these to the top of the pillar joining Polymorpha for the last few metres.
