Brock Tilling just past the crux of Free Will, 5.1...

Description 

The imposing overhang above and right of 'The Main Event', 'The Big Show' cannot be missed.
The wall overhangs at 45 degrees and most routes are about 30 meters long, making the climbing exremely strenous and pumpy. The Big Show is home to several famous routes including 'Pulse' Canada's first 5.14.

Getting There 

Walk past the Circus Wall to The Main Event and look up. Climb a low 5th crack up the left edge of the slab to the base of the overhang. There are several belay stations at the base of the wall.
