Easter Blues Direct

Up the open book slab. The first crux is after clipping the 2nd bolt. Yes, use that crappy little toe hold out right. Mantle onto the ramp. From here the moves are relatively easy, but the exposure goes up. After the 4th bolt, move left under the roof and around the slight overhang to the ramp above then swing onto the arete (second crux) and up to the anchor, shared with Danger Mouse and Jitterbug Perfume.

The original line, Easter Blues (Jeremy Strang, 1987), was named in memory of Grant Crumpton and Donald Hollows, who passed away on Tititea • Mt Aspiring in the Easter of 87. The new bolts take a more direct line, hence the new name.
