Description Suggest change

Place a good piece from the ground then layback up the left edge of the buttress to and past the first bolt. Some easier climbing over dusty roofs (long slings helpfull on gear through here) brings you to the crux.
Tricky face climbing left of two bolts leads to a right leaning ramp (this is where it joins Monkey Talk) passing a peg to bolt anchor.
Not much to look at but has a lot of good climbing on it.

Location Suggest change

Starts 30ft right of The Great White Icicle and just left of Monkey Talk.

Protection Suggest change

Cams to 3" and set of wires.
Keep a Blue, Purple TCU and hand piece for gear past the 2 bolt face crux.
A 60m rope JUST makes it down, watch the ends!
