3 pitches. A slightly scrappy first pitch is followed by 2 much better pitches up the main feature.
P1: Winds it's way up to the feature referred to as an overhanging crack but is actually more of a groove.
P2: The groove / crack is the technical crux but the gear is excellent and it's only a couple of moves. It can be combined with the 'contorted chimney' above.
P3: A chimney / crack leads to the top with some awkward climbing and just about enough gear.

βeta: From the crux moves you follow the natural line to exit into a long but not very deep crevasse. Good belay on a thread at the end of it. The guide book talks about going left over huge flakes. Actually you carry on in the same line to the base of the obvious chimney corner. 		βeta?
