Direct Finish  

Climb to the 6th (final) bolt of Old Man And The Sea. Move right around the prow to a jug and climb straight up to a two bolt anchor. The exciting run-out climbing no longer exists since Mike added a bolt in January 2012. Mike also managed to do the moves straight up past 6th bolt, which is much harder than traversing right the way I went. Enjoy all the tricky climbing on Old Man And The Sea with a hard finish instead of bailing out left. The redpoint crux used to be this finish but is now at 5th bolt. In Spring 2011, a large sidepull pinch broke off and this section is now a very technical. 12c/d crux.

Location 

This lies just right of Nurse Shark.
