Takes the line of the faint vertical seams between Plus Gas and Maverick. Has a bold feel with small fiddly gear. Start 2 metres left of Maverick. Climb up moving diagonally left to the start of the seams (small cam in recess). Roughly follow the seams through the next two horizontal breaks (micro wires and cams crucial). At the third horizontal break traverse out left away from the seams to arrange a cluster of micro cams before moving back for the crux. Where the righthand seam produces a knobbly hold, use this to gain the next positive break (cam on right) and traverse left to finish up Plus Gas.

Stunning climbing straight up the second pockmarked seem to the right of Maverick. Skip up to the ledge and do some bold and delicate climbing for about 5m until the first horizontal break (5c). Arrange a cluster of small gear before a hard move rewards you with a peg. Flex those fingers for the crux through the bulge with a final powerful move to the jug of glory. Continue easily to the top.
