[Dan in Charlie Chaplin pose on Walking on the Moon, 2 kb]Gradually increasing difficulties and varied climbing mark out this route as one of Gull Rock's finest. Start around 7m left of the narrow corner at the right side of the slab. 23m. Move up onto foot ledges and take a diagonal line rightwards on positive holds until a move left gains a standing position on a thin flake and foothold, twin pegs. Good sustained moves directly above the pegs lead to the top. © ROCKFAX
