The classic hard route on the south face of the Spout. Start approximately 10 meters to the right of The Spout '64 Route.

1. 25m (6b+): Start on a loose flake and move up to the right under a small overhang to where an awkward layback move gives access to a poised position in the recess above. Traverse to the right on sloping grips for a few meters until it becomes possible to move up, then do a delicate move to the right. Continue up to a smooth recessed face. Move up to the left past a very dubious bolt, then move up delicately to the ledge above.

2. 25m (4c): Traverse to the right and move up an obvious nose until two recesses are reached. Climb either to a ledge above. Follow a recess to another ledge, then traverse to the left on to blocks.

3. 25m (6b): Traverse to the left on to the end of the blocks and move up through a bulge to hanging flakes. Traverse to the right and pull up on the last flake to reach a handrail. Traverse to the right under the ceiling to a peg and pull through to the stance above. Ignore a peg further to the right.

4. 22m (5a): Move up the recess at the back of the stance. A series of moves forces one out to the left and up to a big traverse ledge. Traverse to the right and up on to some large blocks for approximately 35 meters.

5. 27m (5c): Move up through an overhanging section and traverse diagonally left to a stance. Move up a recess and traverse out left, to mantelshelf onto a small ledge. Traverse right and up to a good ledge. You are now on the left-hand corner of the prominent white nose visible from below.

6. 42m (6b+): Move up a corner until if becomes possible to traverse seven meters to the right to a ledge one-third of the way across the nose. Traverse back to the left into the corner and make some tricky moves up to a stance. Climb a face to a 'dassie' traverse and continue to the right to a large stance on the corner overlooking the prominent nose.

Note: It is possible to take a diagonal line across the white nose after the seven meter traverse. This skips out the tricky moves.

7. 30m (6a+): Move up onto a flake on the corner above. Difficult moves lead to a shallow face, then a handrail. Move up to a ledge. Move right and take the line of least resistance to the top.
