There is a line of bolts running along a ramp/wall to the left looking out from the Chickens In Choppers carrot belay.
Looks about 30m and pretty fine....another Cowen/Shwerd thing?

I think that's "Run Free With The Buffalo" that Joe Goding put up a few years ago. Pretty good from memory. Grade 19 I think.

What is needed is a nice runout route called:
"The Steaks were so High"

I assume you meant looking out left from the top belay. If you've done Chickens then you will most likely have rapped over the top of Run Free.
Chickens and Run Free are both on the same slab buttress. Chickens is the left hand side (when facing cliff), Run Free on the right. Both are started from the surfboard protuding from the grotesque crack on the far right (when facing cliff). In fact the first 1m is shared as you get up onto the slab from the surfboard. Then straight up for Run Free or keep traversing left for Chickens.

I don't a guide with me now, but stu I thought on the slab you are talking about there is a 24 on the left and chickens in choppers on the right, looking at the cliff from the bottom.
I rapped Chickens (two carrots) and when rapping the climb is just across the gully to the right...
Question answered up a few posts though anyway...
