The left of two excellent routes on this aesthetic undercut wall. Access is from the same track as for the Pacifica wall. At the entrance to that track, turn left immediately and follow a vague track south through the bush then west down an obvious drainage line. Both routes start from the same belay in a small alcove feature, ~18m abseil down at the base of an obvious pillar. From the belay, climb up to the peapod feature. Above this, increasingly difficult moves build to a staunch crux just below the lip. Closed project.
