A variant to 'Venom'.

Start: Start as for 'Venom'.

1. 20m (30) An 8m direct variant to 'Venom' pitch 1. As for 'Venom' for 12m until established on the L side of the groove. Instead of traversing R, continue direct up the L side of the groove past 2 FHs to rejoin 'Venom' at the major horizontal break (optional lower-off here). Traverse L to belay.

2. 20m (27) As for 'Venom' pitch 2 until past the bulge and into the cave. Then take the L arete of the cave/scoop. It has no rap anchor - make a very exposed traverse R to Kaa's anchor (belay recommended).
