Cool new line on the bloc opposite Art of War the sport climb in Kalk Bay. Took me a while to figure out if it went at all after James Barnes and I spotted it in 2017. Cool crux revolving around a bad right hand sloper and a very hectic left heel which leads into a very sustained ending few moves. - Chev

Based on comments, there appears to be yet another variation:

Did the complete traverse, past the "low start" and past the "original start". Start with underclings on the fin out right. Still cheap, just sort out your beta. - Mathieu Schneuwly

Looks like FA goes to Mathieu Schneuwly but I'm unsure.

Start on the right in undercling thing and come climb past the low start into the pocket start
