Description 

A good climb with some interesting and pumpy climbing. Locate the climb Yuk, obvious due to it's wide clean crack. Just left of there, climb a face to access a crack in a corner, which is climbed at a moderate grade until you are bumped into a lie-back. The finger crack takes good pro, but it may be hard to place from a lie-back for the 5.8 leader. Continue up to the top and get an anchor on trees back from the edge.

Location 

On the Right-hand side of the Long Wall, just a few meters left of the gaping offwidth of Yuk.

Protection 

A standard rack, smaller cams beneficial.
