Description 

On the the left side Combustion Wall, this starts immediately left of Lockdown. From the 3rd bolt, it diagonals up and right, joining Lockdown for its upper half, while Fly Little Super Boy continues straight up. I guess it's kind of a linkup, but it isn't clear from Fred's guide which of these routes came first (presumably it came before Bob's recent contribution, Lockdown).

The climbing is good, with a crux coming around the 2nd bolt. The bolts on the upper half after it joins Lockdown are spaced pretty honestly compared to the routes to the right, The Smoking Pickle and Spontaneous Combustion. Probably on the easier side of 12a... and definitely easier than the 11d's over to the right (I Never Met a Carbo I Didn't Like, VHS or Beta).

Location 

Combustion Wall.

Protection 

8 bolts.
