Turnkey is a possible new route, on Far How South, that I submitted a few weeks ago. Unfortunately Far How South , is not an option on the drop down menu for new route submission on the FRCC website. So I submitted it under Far How West, noting that it is adjacent to Latch, (a route on Far How South). Hope this clears up any confusion.

The bottom half of the route is the same as Iatch,which crosses the gash at the top of the slab.Bad line drawing in the guide,which does not have descriptions.
This is not new it is the line of the lower part of latch,which climbs to the right of the vegetated groove.Topo line is a bit vague.
Fair enough. Might be best to scrap Turnkey as an independent route, as the meat of the climb is the lower half.
I wasn’t aware of the problem with the topo line in the guidebook when I climbed this, thinking it to be a new route. At least the problem has now been highlighted.
