Start under a prominent groove to the right of Double Criss, which has a clean, vertical seam of quartz within it. Climb this until the groove steepens. Make a tricky, committing, reachy move to surmount this (crux). A delightful wall is climbed on a choice of pickets after a few metres of easier climbing.
