description

Climb up the face to the left of Real Men, keeping 1 to 2 metres right of the blunt arete.

About 60 meters left of pull up at the base of the cliff where the large boulders are. Climb up some easy slab to the first bolt, bolt line then follows a black mineral stain up the wall.

"Prime Time" is a re-bolted version of "The Next Generation".

From the old guide, "Three bolts were placed before the first ascent. These were all removed by Steve Adcock in November, 1989." These old bolt-holes are clearly visible as one climbs.

Route history

	Route setter: James H & Dean Urness .Threaded glue-in sleeves were found when bolting here following a similar, but not the same line. If anyone has information about this, would be more than happy to change the info if there is a different name and FA for the same line. Thanks to Johathan Dean Urness for bolting instruction, and Maria Obas for the catch on the re-FA.
1989	First ascent: S Adamson & C Macknie
