Apparently the name is onomatopoeic for the sound of impending doom as your forearms tire. Originally a two pitch route. Either climb the original start (the ring bolts just right of Slip Kid) or Evolution to the cave at around mid-height and bring your belayer up or, better still, just keep climbing all the way to the top.

Superlative climbing on the upper face, with spaced bolts and a simply mega view. Take care when getting off the route. You will need at least a 70 metre rope to get back to the ground in one rap/lower.
