250m, 4 pitches.
The route takes a wondering line, starting at the foot of the left hand spur/buttress and crossing easy ground mid way to finish up an exposed corner on the right hand side of the face.
P1; 55mtrs 4b Start beneath a prominent corner that finishes at an overhang. Climb an easy rib to a point where a step left round an arête gains a short wall. Climb a few moves up this and on to a slab. You must now cross the poorly protected slab to reach the main corner and better gear. Follow the corner & pass the over hang on the left to reach easier ground. A short gully is taken rightwards to a belay atop a whitish piece of rock.
P2; 30mtrs 4a From the belay, down climb & cross a col to climb just right of a gully on an arête/rib that leads to fun moves through a steeper section. Easier slabs are then taken to an obvious belay where the good rock runs out.
Next scramble easily up to the bottom of the upper face & skirt round the right of it. Keep going right & slightly up until at the bottom of an attractive 12 mtr corner & slab right on the edge of the face.
P3; 5a 25mtrs climb the well protected slab to the guarding roofs. An exciting rockover can then be made over the corner/overlap (crux). Climb carefully up over perched blocks to belay at an obvious ledge.
P4; 4b 55mtrs Climb up the slab from the belay into instant exposure! A careful traverse is the required to enter a rough corner which is followed with pleasure to a shirt finishing slab and the summit.
