A hidden gem of the gorge. Technical and hard finger locking and jambing with no faceholds except for a rounded arete. Awesome gear, a little tricky to place at the start and finishes up some classic gorge spikes and drill holes.

Bolts where the climbing is difficult. One mental section in the middle where you need to commit above a nest of RPs, had me spooked. Probably the longest route in the gorge.

Pretty bloody happy with my effort on this. Had to dig deep for it. End of the day after a spell of rain. Found the sting much much easier to onsight. The moves on this aren’t any harder but fiddling around with the gear to get the correct sizes in and a bit of down climbing to recompose builds the pump. Punchy little number.
