This wall is on the right of the gully which leads to the top of Main Cliff. The wall holds the highest concentration of hard routes at Froggatt and it is a safe bet you’ll find some Auckland hotshots lurking around here at the weekend.

This is the easiest of the three but was first done 12 years after Built To Last, suggesting that it has more value as a mileage link-up than a quality line in itself. From the ledge, pop around the arete and finish up the Hold Onto Your Face finish.
