A stupendous route often called the best route on ignimbrite. Great climbing in a stunning position, all you need to do is get there. To access the belay you can either a) climb the choss from the bottom (not recommended), or b) access the top of the pinnacle by taking the track past and behind the Wet Dreams Wall and abseil in to the belay position (only slightly less scary than a!).
