Description
This seldom done climb is among the harder offerings at Big Rock but is an unknown obscurity to most. Despite it's rating the climbing is mostly moderate in difficulty with a brief and reasonably well protected crux.
Starts at the base of The Trough and follows an obvious diagonal weakness up and left as it slashes across the main face of Big Rock.
Reasonably well protected, with the crux smears coming near the end, at a steep section where it joins the route Giant Step. Once past the crux continue up past the last bolt of Giant Step to anchors.
An easy walk-off exists down the left margin of the face.
