Description 

Superb and sustained climbing up the blunt arete leads you to a good rest where you were hoping the anchor was going to be. Look up at the overhanging crack, take a deep breath and off you go. Wild finish, brilliant route.

Location 

Starts 30ft right of Concrete Jungle and about 50ft before (left of) Gooseberry Corner.

Protection 

Bolts.
Yellow, black metolius, 2 hand size pieces and an orange metolius were used for the finish.
