40m. South Face, No. 1 Buttress. The overhang and enticing crack-line on the left arete of Patey’s Wall gives a good challenge. Scramble up to a belay at a crack in the initial wall.
1. 25m Climb the crack to the halfway ledge, pull boldly through the roof and layback
the crack to a finishing bulge.
2. 15m Climb easy rocks on the right to the top.
