Bold, technical and sustained climbing between Black Death and Inkerman Groove Direct, providing an independent and much harder start to Life After Death. 3 star climbing if you're strict and do not use side-runners.
Climb the centre of the wall below the Inkerman Groove traverse and pass the small roof (essential gear). From the right side of the Inkerman Groove traverse, climb the slab up and then left to the large left facing calcite sidepull level with the first thread (not used) of Black Death. Place a small wire in the thin crack feature to the right of the thread and then climb directly up the wall (some other gear is possible) to the sharp left facing hold near the Black Death undercling. Do not use any other holds here and do not clip the first peg on White Life. Boldly join Life After Death and follow it to the top.
