Two bolts were placed by first ascensionist John Allen; they were the first bolts in New Zealand.

The route is named after a suburb of Allen’s native Sheffield suburb – also an appropriate name for an arête climb in New Zealand.

New Deal Sport route 8b+ 2

Retrospectively recognised as possibly the first 5.14a (8b+) established by an American. Scott Frankin's Scarface at Smith Rock and Planet Claire at the Shawangunks are other contenders for this title.

Chopped by John Bachar as some of the bolts were placed on rappel but subsequently rebolted.
