Description

The direct start to Wild Thing. Finally the line is, well, independent.

Previously bolted, but as far as I know, never done.. Anyone?

Location

Start on the first bolt of Big Red and step into the white corner/scoop to the left.

Protection

Bolts to a chain anchor. Careful use of long slings and back-cleaning (especially the first two bolts) in the initial corner reduces rope drag to nothing higher up on Wild Thing. Bring a 70m rope, or tie knots!!
