UKC

Start on a ledge on Wafer slab towards the seaward end where the scramble in naturally joins the face. The wall should carry on rising up a little to your left as you look out. Drop onto the wall above the tide, traverse dropping diagonally downwards. Head for an easy pocket as on miss placed optimism. Carry on traversing back up diagonally through the large groove of Skull and Cross Bones at midpoint of the wall. Keep going in this direction on thin moves and gear to an undercut , assume to be part of The eternal optimist. At this point traverse down to a small ridge then carry on moving right level with this. Drop down to meet the cracks in area of Turbid legacy. Descend to the beach at this point, one option is to continue up over the cave to the far arete to finish but we ran out of gear.

First Ascent.
