54m, 2 pitches. An enjoyable appendage to the climbs on the Unknown Wall. The crux arĂȘte is avoidable so only warrents the grade if adhering to the true line. Possibly better done in one long pitch.
1) 6a, 27m. Men of the World pitch 1
2. 6a, 27m. Traverse right from the belay passing the line of pegs then step down slightly to hand traverse right along the good break. Up above the break and just before the corner of Urban Gorilla, is a shot hole. Reach up for this then using good layaways and holds, swing directly up the bulging wall until stopped by the blank white wall above. Tip toe leftwards and clip the peg on Blik. Taking a disciplined approach to avoid the temptation of using the Blik crack, climb the left arĂȘte of the white wall directly above the peg until emerging into the corner. Move up the corner, clipping the peg on the left before swinging up right to sensationally pull over the widest part of the overhang.
