300m, 9 pitches.

A modern route which is quickly gaining classic status.

UKC Logbook Description
The line of glue-ins starting left of, then crossing Bon Voyage above the terrace. Probably the second easiest long route on the face - Sylvie Phobie is easier (with a point of aid on the crux move).

βeta: there are 2/3 pitches on the lower slabs which supposedly link into this, but they are often busy. at the main start there are so many lines of bolts it can be hard to work out what is what. you want the modern glue ins to the right of a small overhang (the rightmost set of bolts at this bay). the resin is not red on this pitch. if it looks harder than 6a you are probably on the wrong line! | βeta? | |

βeta: At the start of pitch 3 in the Rockfax description you'll see 3 sets of bolts glue ins on the left, hangers middle and glue ins right. You want the left hand glue ins. The right hand set don't lead anywhere as the party next to us discovered... | βeta? | |

βeta: If in doubt follow the red resined in bolts. Rockfax misses out the 1st two pitches that are more commonly done. | βeta? | |
