Borderline classic. Great moves and quality rock. Definitely go to the top anchor and not the 24. Try not to worry about the squeeze job route beside it and just climb.

23 | ★★ Unraveling Fukishima | 18m, 7 | Flat Rock | ★★ Very Good | Wed 20th Apr 2016 | |||

23 | ★★ Reigning Steel | 17m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 23rd Mar 2015 | |||

23 | ★★ Fire in the sky | 30m, 16 | Bare Rock | ★★ Very Good | Sun 18th Jan 2015 | |||

23 | ★★ Mornings Minion | 83m, 14 | Bare Rock | ★★★ Classic | Mon 2nd May 2016 | |||

Few really tricky moves down low then mostly good holds and plenty of rests. The hanging arete was much easier than it looked from the ground. Another quality line but not as good as its neighbour.
