[Krypton Route (S) on Mystery Buttress, Widdop, 2 kb]Pull over the roof into the right-facing groove, up this then the face to the left to the 3rd Ledge. A short wall leads to the 4th Ledge. The easiest escape from here is to move right to the finish of the Ordinary Route. © ROCKFAX

good climbing with runouts required to the third ledge. I had planned to finish with The Layback Finish but after taking a good look at the gleaming rock and having my foot slip the first time I tried it I just belayed from the fourth ledge.
