220m, 5 pitches. This is the first route established on Mumbar's south face. It starts from the a point high up to the left hand side of the cliff at an altitude of approximately 400m, just before an obvious slab that can be traversed with a fixed hand-rail rope. The route can be climbed in its entirety on trad gear, however, belays have been equipped with SS expansion bolts to serve as the rappel line. The first pitch can be climbed more direct at the same grade via a variant starting about 20 metres further to the right of the original start of the route. The third pitch can also be climbed more direct via a variant that follows the obvious steep cracks just above the belay to rejoin the original ascent line after approximately 20m. Care is required when pulling the ropes on the rappel descent to avoid the ropes getting caught on the sharp chicken heads on the slabbier upper section of the route.
