Laybacking to the right? As in facing right or on the right of the crack?
To be honest, it must be ten years since I last did this (and thirty-six years since I first did it) but I recall an undercling and straightforward layback. It's a bit butch but pretty short.
I don't do long reaches or wide bridging, so that's certainly not required!
Then again, I don't recall Verandah Buttress being hard (well, obviously it's hard, but not Hard) but it's even longer since I last did that.
