Description
Climb past horizontals and mantle onto a small ledge to clip the high first bolt then move left using thin edges to a somewhat tenuous clip.
Keep moving up and left to a good horizontal crack then continue up to a delicate stand-up move between the 3rd and 4th bolt, keeping your heels low, and finish with more positive scoops and edges.
- The name is a take-off on Traffic's 1971 release The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys.
Location
Just right of a wide crack - More Moss than Gloss on the left side of a steep slab.
Though next to a crack it is never used whilst climbing this route.
