Description

Start as for “Free Range Chook” and immediately hand over hand out right on a jug rail. (Cliff Hanger style) Place gear and make some exciting hero moves heading up the wall. Clip two bolts as you cruise through the worlds best granite incuts. A small cam or nut guards the chains. This one is fun.

Location

Probably the most obvious feature of Shady Lane West, the clean block between Free Range Chook and Great Escape. Look for two bolts in the granite between these two splitters. If you're crazy strong, a direct start might be possible.
