Description:
FA Jay Goodwin, 1980's. This climb is found on the west face of Ant Eater to the right of Scream cheese. Climb up the face using nuts and cams for protection and one or two bolts on the upper face. They are hard to see so look around. Belay from Scream Cheese's anchors. Looks a tad runout from but there is enough pro to keep you safe.

Run out
I vividly remember this climb - marginal gear (I slung some chicken heads). I remember thinking to myself "why would I want to climb a route called Holding out for a Hero". It was originally rated 10b.

Doesn't get climbed too often
This is a fun route and I would recommend it if you are in the vicinity. Put long slings on all your pieces.
