Another brilliant low-grader, up the middle of the watchtower. Start at the crack 5m left of the undercut right arete (but not the crack 9m left). Up the deep crack until it ends, right, and over a disconcerting bulge to a good ledge (8). Belay. Up the smooth wall on the rightuntil below another bulge, the left and up to a narrow ledge under the overhang. Best from here is an "unlikely" traverse right to a peg, then straight up to another good belay ledge (9). Finish back left and up to a scenic finish.
Speedie and McQuilkin 10/1964 Oct/1964.
