Starts up Great White Fright and finishes up the rib of Aliens. Make a long move to the penultimate bolt, step left and climb the Aliens rib using a pocket and side pulls. Finish straight up via easier climbing to a new belay, right of the Aliens belay. The hard climbing is fierce but short lived.

I climbed this line in 2018 as I thought this was the line of Aliens. Followed the line in the rock fax guide I think it was. Hopefully it’ll get some more traffic now. Tis a shame central buttress is such a backwater, it’s an amazing crag.

Ah well didn’t climb the full line as I went to the old aliens belay, nice that it’s a bit more independent. Also read that as starting up white fright not great white fright so I’ve only climbed the middle section thinking this was aliens. Anyhow, keen for these at some point.

Don't this and the other route interfere with White Fright?
