[Nearing the top of the difficulties and still singing!, 3 kb]A fantastic arete that looks to be much tougher than it actually is. Start below the soaring arete behind a huge pinnacle. 25m. Climb the arete on small, but reliable holds to a good horizontal break at 8m. Continue up the arete past a notch to the top. An exposed pitch. © ROCKFAX

Nice enough route but very worrying rock. I was pulling it out all the way up.

Good fun, but a bit friable. I don't think the guidebook writers idea of 'solid rock' is quite the same as mine.
