220m, 6 pitches. At the left and highest end of the crag lies the distinctive Arrow Buttress (map ref 594 396), with the shallow Arrow Chimney (grade III/IV) on its left flank. This route takes a fairly direct line up the centre of the face. Climbed under unfavourable conditions of unconsolidated snow - neve recommended.
Start just right of the toe of the buttress at a fence post. Ascend steep groove then its left edge to a narrow ledge. Move right to belay on an icicle (45m). Move back left then trend leftwards until a short turfy wall can be climbed to gain a good belay under an overhang (25m). (Under good conditions the groove directly above the icicle may be climbable). Climb up past a tree then break back rightwards across the face to belay on a short ramp (40m). Move right then climb directly up a shallow groove to belay at rocks on the left (35m). Up a tiny chimney and steep ground above to below an overhang. Traverse right and up to a ledge (30m). Continue further right until it is possible to break back left and up to belay on a large iron post (45m).
