Description

A two pitch route with an excellent upper hand crack.

P1. From the top of Blockbuster climb the easy corner just to the left left. Consider belaying here to reduce rope drag). Traverse right passing the top of the Butt Lips Chimney and the start to Air Over Aries to a angular looking hand crack.

P2. Head straight up the hand crack until it joins with the final pitch of the GNS.
