Description 

Even better than it looks! Consistently challenging and well-protected crack climbing leads up to the corner. Continue up the corner past a final crux near the large block. Grovel up the filthy slab above to the trees.

(Although the block looks very precarious, for the time being it seems to be relatively stable. Using it is not advised. If it falls, it will almost certainly kill you. It will then hunt down your family and kill them too. Seriously, don't use it!)

Location 

At the left end of the clean section of wall containing Chinese Writing and Revenge of the Jedi. Look for a gorgeous finger and hand crack that wanders up the face to the right of a right-facing corner. There is a large, long block lying at the top of the corner.

Protection 

standard rack, takes stoppers well, continue up the filthy stuff above the block to slings and rings around a tree
