45m, 3 pitches.
At the base of the east wall of the geo is an arete. This route climbs the steep corner just round the right hand side of the arete.
5b 20m Ascend the steep bridgy corner to a ledge out right, then continue up the steep curving crack above (crux) to a stance on blocks in the back of the bay.
5a 15m Head back left and upwards urgently across the wall (good small friends in breaks) to reach the arete, and continue pleasantly to a dramatic stance on large ledges
4a 10m. Weave delicately back rightwards up the loose top section of wall carefully, and belay off the stacked tower of blocks above.
Interesting and varied climbing, well protected by a good rack of friends, on mostly solid rock, marred only slightly by the loose top out.
