A superb and intricate line with difficult route finding on the second pitch. The first pitch should not to be underestimated in less than perfect conditions. Belay below the Dinosaur chimney. (2nd pitch is a poor eliminate? Climbable with a one foot in Dinosaur? - don't remember it feeling that way - TB. I think its a great pitch - SL)
1.6a.Follow Dinosaur for 15 metres until it is possible to step left onto the pillar (peg). Climb the pillar and trend leftwards on flat holds into a groove. Continue up the wall on more flat and sloping holds (sustained) to reach the Dinosaur belay.
2.6b.Traverse rightwards across the chimney of Dinosaur and follow undercuts to a large foothold and obvious flake crack (large wire). From here, climb fairly directly (small wires), just a few metres right of the Dinosaur chimney, with a move rightwards to reach a flat hold at the traverse line of Positron, just to the right of the roof. Turn the roof and trend rightwards to the Bucket Seat belay. (Note: This is the Variation as described in the 1991 guide book and is probably the more logical and frequently climbed.)
