Pinch the pillar and then dyno out to the lip of the overhang. Yeah right! A spooky landing has deterred any serious effort of climbing this route. Best bring a huge crash pad, or do it the old school way...

1968 Guide
WESTBROOK HOSPITAL [2008: now Wesbrook, a lecture hall] (daylight)
1st. asc. 1967 (Open House) M. Warr, R. Culbert, H. Bruce, A. Purdey, R. Scott, M. Ablitt

Using left or right front entrance pillar (we used the left one) for the route, do a shoulder stand. Using one grappling hook on ledge above stand in etriers in order to attain this ledge. (From a shoulder stand a mantel-shelf could be done, but how do you then get your second up?). Repeat this maneuver until the top is reached. One should use the excuse of OPEN HOUSE in climbing the hospital, as it is closely watched generally to prevent the smuggling of drugs.
