[Fiend finally getting his arse in gear on the Appaloosa Sunset rockover..., 2 kb]16m. Quality face climbing with a bold central section. Climb the right arete of Rubberneck (a highish runner is permissible) then trend right by high-stepping/rockovers and tricky mantelshelves before following holds straight up the wall, which eases gradually with height.
