Tucked in a corner at the far left of the wall in behind some shrubbery. Either climb the tree and dyno for the jug, traverse in from 'TEC' or (now much harder) grovel up on decaying, suspect holds (which seem to be dropping off with alarming regularity). Then up the steepening wall on good jugs to an eyebolt belay on the left slab. Very pumpy.

Comments

Very runout in sections, particularly getting to the second bolt and getting to the anchors. Lower section polished, be careful!

Two bolts have been added recently. But the first bolt really needs to be moved at least a metre right.

Updated bolt count. Minor change to route description.
