80m, 2 pitches. Excellent route just right of Burn Up: 2 contrasting pitches, the 1st taking a series of cracks and grooves, much better than it looks, and the 2nd following a steep and sustained line up the bulging head wall.
1 40m Start just right of Famished Road, climb the cleaned crack passing a large block and continue up until forced right to join another crack. Follow this until you can move right again to another crack which leads up and left over a small bulge to a block (large sling runner). Continue up on good ledges and belay on the black wall below the overhang (small ledge with lots of small wires and cams).
2 40m Climb up to the undercut block and turn it on the right before taking a bit of a breather on the ledge above left. From there follow the steep cracks to a big sloping ledge and possible belay. To finish start up the corner on the right before making an awkward move left to the wide crack and flake (4 or 5 BD cam) which are followed to the top.
