Access from the Re-Ignition top anchor. Starts from a sloping belay ledge close to the bush. Head up easy ground to a good layback just above the first bolt. Traverse left to a sidepull feature then slap and tickle your way up the middle of the bulging wall to a good stance at the top of a flake. After the pump has eased, charge up the short but surprisingly tricky arête to the top.
