A beautiful climb up the obvious diagonally rising crack, finishing directly up the slab. The final pitch is absolutely mesmorising.
1)4c, 50m. Climb up the bridging chimney that starts just off the miners path, then scramble easily to the base of the corner.
2) 5a, 30m. Tip-toe up the right hand wall, placing gear on the left, when you approach the roof make a bold step onto the left wall and pull onto the belay ledge.
3) 5c, 40m. Strenuous and well protected (if you have medium to large cams). Climb the gradually steepening crack at a gradually faster pace, then traverse the handrail under the lip to an airy hanging belay on the arete.
4) 6b, 30m. A short, powerful crux brings you onto the slab above. Dance gracefully up the slab on delightful granidiorite crystals. A side runner can be placed to protect the final moves.
