The steep arete is technical as far as a band of crusty rock.
Step right and climb the difficult slanting groove, and the
headwall. Holds were chipped off after the first ascent but it is
still climbable at the same grade. Some ancient bolts provide
much-needed protection.
FA. Johnny Dawes 1984. The top section was originally on London Pride.

layback to finish.
