description
A super sustained traverse with some focused friction and slapping.
Sit start under the left rounded arete at the jugs. Power up to the Gaston and then head left to the defined edge of the boulder
Slap and smear your way along this until you hit the bomber holds just left of the right arete. Fighting the pump, get your mantle on and love the feeling of your defiance to Father Ted's Stiff Upper Lip.
Note - Clean the top before attempting, if there hasn't been much traffic
Original Problem V5 - Stand start just right of blunt arete

ethic
Development is still open in this area, but please make sure your new line is reasonably different to those existing. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact the main developers - Brendon Flanagan or Ranger Dave.
Please respect the crag and clean up an trash you see. Sadly teenage punks from the local school mess this place up.
