A few metres right, at the right edge of the overhang opposite a tree. Hard pulling to the first bolt, move right to the second bolt, and climb the wall. Five bolts. Anchors missing but straightforward traverse leads left to King Kong.

Anchors originally above and slightly to the right of last bolt but they have been removed for some reason (not sure why, who or when but the original bolts are visible hammered flush with rock...) It is possible to traverse left to king kong rings but makes it difficult to clean route other than by seconding. Have updated route description.
