47m, 2 pitches.
This meandering route, with classic start and scary traverse in middle section, is essentially a slightly easier scenic detour of “Centraline”.
Pitch 1 (5a, 25m) - Start on flake as for “Centraline” but turn up and right when possible, following an easy slab out right to join Lang Kwai Fong where a distinctive thin crack zig zags sharply back left. Move up a diagonal crack at first before traversing back left (run-out) to join the main crack of Centraline, where a traditional belay can be rigged above the bulge.
Pitch 2 (V Diff, 22m) – Jam up the crack above and scramble at low angle to the high anchor. Better yet, skip the belay and push on to the top of Centraline in one pitch.
