Description
This is a bit of a novelty route. It begins from the same first bolt as saffron spider and heads right. You step right around the arete onto the shelf under a roof where the permadraw for "5 Deadly Venoms hangs". Continue right along this shelf and pull out into a dihedral. Work up the dihedral and join the second half of "Rat Poo Poo," stepping left around the arete and heading up to the chains for "Grog Supply" above.
This route makes a giant "D" or cutlass shape on the wall. Expect horrible rope drag on the last few bolts, using some alpine draws may help but not much. The bolts in the middle of this climb have not been replaced with glue-ins, but appear to be in alright shape.
