description
Varied climb, thin slab. Named after a near disaster on the 1st pitch. On the far L side of Junglescope Buttress is a series of overlaps and slabs formed by the sandstone strata. This takes the fattest slab, that gets narrower as it gets higher to a distinct protruding block.
50m (Crux) Reach the slab and climb it on its L side all the way to a small stance under the overlap and level with the protuding block.
20m R and over the block and up the crack above.Follow this L until it gets easy and you get to the large ledge.
20m Easy to the top.
