28m, 3 pitches.
This is the main vertical fault directly below the summit cairn. It starts midway between cracks and arete and the ‘Right Hand Edge Route at the foot of the overlapping slab.
1. Climb directly up the crack in the corner, using both crack and right-hand slab, to a slopping grassy slope. Belay. 30 feet.
2. Follow the bulge to right for 15 feet, crux, being careful not to pull the loose rocks on the right hand wall away, as they are handy for footholds. A small jug can be found a foot above the loose blocks. Easier climbing up the grassy gully going diagonally left 25 feet, leads to a grotty distance and nut belay below the final vertical crack. 40 feet.
3. Climb directly up the crack, strenuous for 20 feet, until easier broken rocks leads to the top and summit cairn. Good block belay 35 feet.
