A steep route three metres right of Pump Action. Small holds give way to big moves as the gradient increases. Move up slightly left to the obvious horizontal jug where a big move past the third bolt awaits. Then out right to jugs at the fourth bolt and rock over to a semi rest. Join the last moves of Pump Action here as you exit past a bolt on yet more steep ground to the PA anchors. Excellent thuggy moves. Five bolts total. Marcus Thomas, 2000.
