The original route (which featured multi-carrot bolt "runners") started at the Slip Kid belay and finished at the top of the vegetated offwidth. The re-imagined version starts from the ground as per the original start to Duudoos. Follow the ring bolts just right of Slip Kid, tending slightly left as you gain height. The bolting spacing and difficultly increases until the crux is reached high on the route. Fortunately, you don't need to clean or climb the offwidth because there's a new anchor there or thereabouts.
