Description Suggest change

Shares a start with Paging Don Kiedick. The route has a bit of a complicated history, I believe the route was first done in 1995, but the first two bolts were then chopped soon after. in 2012 or 2013, the start ledge fell off. Soon after, a new first bolt was added, and the first chopped bolt was replaced with what is now the second bolt. One chopped stud remains, but is the least critical of the bolts on the climb, and can be slung with a nut. 

Climb the bouldery start past two bolts. Once past the roof, the climb is nice 5.8 cruise up a long corner past a chopped stud which can be slung with a nut. A sloping ledge is reached, and another good bolt leads left to a crack. Just before the large ledge, which may be guarded by a seagull, one can continue up over the ledge to easier corner climbing, shared with Easy Way Out (5.7). Another option is to traverse left to the anchor on Paging Don Kiedick, which is well protected 5.8 with a large cam (4 or 5 camalot) to protect the middle of the traverse. Using the traverse finish, the climb can be done with a 60m rope (knotted ends).
