Last Butt One Level:

Choughs are now in the broken area to the left of Uluru Magic and right of Rejoice. There is no restriction on climbing at present but please avoid this area and keep noise to a minimum. Due to an increase in roosting birds, please avoid climbing during dusk (1hour before sunset).

A new pair of choughs are nesting on the left-hand side of this level. Please avoid all routes to the left of Cubism Groove

UKC Logbook Description
The shallow groove to the right of New Lease of Life starting up the left-hand of twin grooves. The easiest line on the buttress but still a couple of tricky moves in the mid-height groove. Climb the initial groove to an easy angled area. From the top of this, move left onto the wall and gain a good hold on top of a rib. Move up then left towards the main grooveline and make a balancy move to better holds. Pass a jug with some difficulty and continue up the groove until it is possible to step left onto a ramp (choice of levels) and up to the finish.

βeta: The nut and hanger on the left hand lower off bolt are loose, could just do with tightening with a nut key.
