Description
Climb a steep slab past a bolt, passing the left side of a horizontal crack (#3 Camalot or equivalent) on your way to another bolt. The top rounds off after the last bolt and is easier. Rap off bolts atop Rock Star/School Daze.
The manky bolts on this have been replaced which makes this a far more enjoyable endeavor, but this is still best enjoyed on a cool day so the marginal smears feel a bit more secure.
Location
Located on the south face of Sargeant Rock, between School Daze on the left and 39 Steps on the right and just right of a large bush.
