Description 

The route begins from the set of bolts up and right of the Looney Tunes chains (that is, the P1 anchor for what used to be Catalyst); thus, it can be linked with Looney as one long pitch.

From the chains, lieback up the leftward arching corner/seam, clipping 4 bolts along the way. A few funky moves and long reaches puts you at the last bolt below the easy finishing roof. Chains appear just above the roof at the top of the buttress.

A single rap (with a 60m) reaches the gravel base of Looney Tunes with a few feet to spare.

Location 

Above and slightly right of the Looney Tunes anchor.

Protection 

All bolts
