150m, 3 pitches.
A line of grooves just right of the ridge of Dotterel and at the left side of the depression between it and Reindeer Ridge (Beagle has Landed takes grooves on the right side of the depression). Climbed under deep snow. Start down right from the crest of the ridge and just left of smooth slabs.
1. 50m Climb over a flake and move right to a steep groove above the slabs. Climb the groove and move up to a short overhanging wall. Traverse right below this to enter and climb a turfy groove, then a well defined subsequent groove. Move right on an inset slab, then back left more easily.
2. 50m Trend right on slabby ground to enter and climb a big central groove. Continue up more easily to below a steep upper tier.
3. 50m Climb up towards a through route below a big block and pass this on the right. Continue up on blocky ground, then move right and climb more blocky ground to finish at the end of the ridge of Dotterel.
