55m. The original route of the buttress trends left to right to find the easiest line. Steady climbing though the crucial mantelshelf is a bit of a stopper 1) 16m. Trend right up slabby rock to a spike belay. 2) 4b, 16m. Move round right then climb the slot to a jammed block before making a hard mantelshelf out right. Belay in the recess just a little higher 3) 26m. Climb easy rock then the chimney behind the tower of blocks and flakes to reach open ground and the top. © ROCKFAX
