45m, 2 pitches.
Climbs the left arête of the big slab at the right end of the main face. Much easier than it looks – superb in parts but quite an odd line as it avoids the slab on the top pitch for a wild crack just under the left arête, which is better protected and very good climbing, but somewhat harder – hence the name, which means face blindness. Start at a small ledge 10m right of the Rabid Wanderings belay, at sea level.
1) 6a, 25m. Move up and right to a block in the overhang. Climb steeply right through this, then left and back right to an easing at the slabs edge. Traverse left then onto the slab and up it for a few moves before traversing left to a hanging belay under a good crack in the underside of the left arête.
2) 5c, 20m. Climb the crack till it eases, then continue with difficulty up the arête trending right to an easier finish.
