Rockfax Description
Start under the hanging left arete of the buttress and climb the awkward wide crack to the overhang. Traverse right to below the large perched block. Gain this carefully and finish up the arete directly above on good holds. © Rockfax

βeta: Soloed, but I agree with Steve - start on the arete rather than in the crack. Good, obvious crux getting around the corner, and big cams will help. Overall a worthwhile route.

βeta: The rib to the right of the crack is a better start - balancy and no gear, rather than an awkward thrutch.
