Description

Can be linked as a single pitch but traditionally two pitches.

Pitch 1: Climb up and to the left following the wall over large blocks until reaching a ledge. Lots of possibilities for an anchor once at the ledge.

Pitch 2. Continue up the flakes and finish as for Tower Ridge.

Location

On the upper cliffs, less than 5 mins walk from the car park. Turn right onto the trail to Tower Ridge and walk around the left side of Tower Ridge to get to the base of Giant's Staircase. Walk off from top once finished the climb.
