Description Suggest change

From where you split right from Becky's Wall, a thin lieback leads up and right past a bolt (where an old knifeblade used to be). Then you gain a rightward undercling right, climbing underneath the large roof past another bolt. At the far end of the traverse you gain the Split Pants gully. I belayed in the gully. You can either continue up Split Pants or rappel from a tree down to the first anchors of Cheetah, and then from there to the base. An excellent route!

Location Suggest change

Start on Becky's Wall and where Becky's and the Fingertip Variation go straight up, climb right up under the large roof.

Protection Suggest change

A selection of stoppers, and small cams up to a #2 camalot sized piece. There are sections where it is mandatory to punch it between gear!
