After Re-Ignition was bolted and climbed, Kristen decided it was so good that it needed another pitch, so he added one underneath it! It is possible to access the start of this route from the old road. A better idea is to abseil in from the Re-Ignition belay ledge. After a damp start, the route steadily improves. If you’re feeling game, go for the monster link into Re-Ignition.
