The vague corner system left of Rubber Band Man. Two distinct pitches.


  • P1
  • 24
  • 18m
  • 6

Start as for Rubber Band Man, up the scruffy wall and slab. Above the second bolt, track left into the groove via a devious sequence. Steady climbing then leads to a sloper crux just above the last bolt.


  • P2
  • 25
  • 20m
  • 3
  • Trad

From the belay ledge, scramble up to the base of the obvious corner. Small gear (wires, sliders) and technical stemming leads to a big flake at half height. From here, the crux and 3 bolts of yet more technical stemming awaits.
