Description 

Stinger begins just left of an eight foot sapling near the taller right hand side of Wasp Haven Buttress' wall. Move straight up the lower slab to a short roof that runs across the right half of the face. Pull the roof using a good flat edge and a selection of testy sidepulls. Continue up either bailing left for easier terrain or traverse right then up to the highest point of the buttress (recommended). A little contrived but worth doing if you're in the area.

Location 

Start just left of the eight foot sapling growing near the bottom of the tallest, right hand side of the cliff (close to Sun Drop II Tower).

Protection 

Standard Blue Mounds toprope (long slings helpful)
