If you are considering going climbing here, please understand, appreciate and accept the following -

Dairy Farm (DFQ) is a defunct granite quarry that was blast-mined when it was active. As such, the internal integrity of the walls is unknown and rock fall has been observed by climbers through the years.
DFQ is NOT a playground or a gym, where risks are minimised for you. Please ensure that you possess adequate outdoor climbing skills and are able to protect yourself.
There is a chance that you might be fined by NParks for going "off-trail" under park regulations.
Please practice good stewardship of the area and educate yourself on "Leave No Trace principles.

description

Captured in the Climb Singapore guidebook as a different and distinct route from 'First Blood' graded 5.8 / 5a. The guidebook description suggests this climb starts below the nose and joins 'Mega Hangdogging'. However, the precise details of how this original variation differs from it's non-original cousin appear to be lost to the annals of history.
