70m. The arête to the left of The Complete Scream. Climb Promised land for 10m until a groove at the bottom of the arête. Climb the technical groove until large flat holds lead back to the crack of Promised Land. Arrange protection in the crack of Promised Land and follow holds back up to the arête. Climb the arête and then move through an overlap (crux). Continue up the arête above to a good ledge. Traverse right on the face and then up until an airy move back left leads to a flat hold beside the arête. Climb the arête to the belay of Promised Land. Traverse right and then move along the rising rightward trending crack following it until it runs out. Make moves up and right along the band of rock until the final crack of Primal Scream is reached.

This route was originally done in 1986 as a Sport Route, "Spirit of Ecstasy" by John Codling and Gary Gibson in 1986. The bolts were removed shortly after the first ascent and a peg used to equip the route was removed before its first Traditional Ascent.
