5 pitches.
A superb route situated on Elderberry Buttress on the Scheelite Crags. This butress is situated high on the right a
hand side of the gulley to the right of the PSOM slab.
Climb rightwards on scree to find 1000 feet of 4th class scrambling to the left of the large obvious corner. This should bring you to the right hand end of a ledge below the buttress, be careful not to stray too far left!
A ledge leads left below the of the buttress to the start of the route.
A superb 5 pitch wide crack up the left hand edge of the buttress, using large gear to 6". A significant roof on the second pitch. Watch out for jammed ropes in the deep crack on the 4th pitch, there is at least one abandoned rope deep in there!
Abseil off to the right down the line of Joint Effort, using the well bolted belay/abseil stations.
