Description 

This climb starts just right of More Moss Than Gloss (5.9) on the left side of a steep slab; the route Into The Void (5.12b) is just to the right.

Unlike many of the routes on the Hungover Wall this route climbs a thin slab, which requires you to keep your heels low as you deal with the thin balancy moves at the third bolt. Stemming of the chimney to the left is definately verboten.

The name is a take-off on Traffic's 1971 release The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys.
