Description

This route has gotten mixed reviews, either its hated or loved. It looks a bit run out in sections but the falls are clean. The crux is pretty high, just after a small pod where it is possible to get a very unique no hands rest. From there do long moves up to the last bolt and anchors

Location

From the top of the wooden staircase head right until you come to wall with three routes on it. This is the left route.ss

When I sent this thing I just couldn't stop to clip the last bolt so I took the decision to skip it altogether. Falling from the top probably would've resulted in decking. I remember thinking it wasn't well bolted but haven't been on it since so maybe I was wrong then? Oct 23, 2012

Contrary to the previous comment, the route is generously bolted and totally safe, even if you skip the last clip.

Fun pocket pulling. Climbs better than it looks. Sep 8, 2017

An enormous rat snake attempted to climb this route while we were doing the first ascent. It whipped off the crux and landed on our rope unharmed. Sep 28, 2017
