Originally a 12 meter solo, into a 6 meter run out; this route provides one of the best leads at Lowdina. Retro-bolted with the FA's permission. The line tackles the roof just right of Spazattack and is marked by guano courtesy of the local falcon. Up the face past 3 ringbolts to the horizontal break (finger sized cams), then do the boulder problem past a another bolt to the first roof. Up into the groove past the last bolt (FH), trending left under the second roof to a groove and crack. Up this with the aid of good RPs, small wires and micro-cams to finish at the DBB lower-off.
