Description 

This route climbs the left hand edge of the Magic Bus wall. Although there is nothing really wrong with the route, it's not quite as good as others on the cliff, having rock of less quality and being a little shorter.Climb the now-bolted line at the left edge of the crag to reach the anchors up and right, above Blonde Dwarf.


Protection 

A set or draws or a TR.

I found the route finding a little tricky. Climbiing on the left side of the bolts is easier than climbing on the right side. Having said that, there is no way this route is a 9+. I rate it a 9 or 9-. Still found the route to be fun.

A great climb on positive holds. Less travelled than the easier sport routes on this wall.
