Description
An essential classic. Steep and exposed, but furnished with the regular occurrence of positive holds.
Pitch 1 (55ft) Head up the middle of the buttress.
Pitch 2 (60ft) Continue up to the larger pinnacles.
Pitch 3 (65ft) Drop down in the gap and climb the steep wall on the left.
Pitch 4 (50ft) Follow the slab rightwards to a ledge.
Pitch 5 (50ft) The awkward chimney on the right is thankfully short lived.
