Description:

On the same formation as the totem pole, left of the original route. Fun and sustained, not quite as technical as the original route but not extensively easier either

Descent Options:

A 60m will just bring you to the ledge before the route, or rap off the original route.

5 out of 5 stars ffa

The pathological optimist let me give it a go for the ffa after he finished bolting it and it being top-roped by others. More fun than the original route.
