80m, 3 pitches. Starts 6m right of heatwave. Follow vague blocky arete to start of a slab. Move diag right (straight up is E1 variant) to reach a small ledge, before heading left to tree belay.

2nd pitch, head 5m left to large left facing corner, head up and follow natural line to another large ledge, level with but 5m right of pine tree.

3rd pitch, head straight up easy slabs following small cracks, into small niche, then up on delicate slabs to top.

βeta: Guidebook description is poor. Very easy to go off route on first pitch onto the bold E1 direct variant. Correct description is to gain the 2nd crack on right after the initial slab which looks overgrown. 2nd pitch is very runout after initial section (no gear for around 10m).
