Rating: -1
A poor route, which follows the right-slanting edge of the huge detached blade of rock forming the left end of Africa Flake Wall. The holds are generally good, but care should be taken to avoid suspect rock on the left.

Climb the crack system 5 metres left of Kudu. Move right at the break to a dead tree, then finish straight up.

12 metres to the left is a block leaning against the face. From the top of this, move left to gain better holds and finish direct.
