40m. Looking from fascadale is a slabby buttress on the left-hand side which continues upwards getting progressively more broken, to a bealach on the crest of the ring-dyke. To the right of the buttress is a heathery break and then a ridge which descends from the summit slabs

The bottom part of the ridge can be climbed at V.Diff followed by an easy scramble to the summit. (Named "Make your own Ledge Route").

Descent is via the heathery break between the ridge and the buttress.

Start near the right-hand end of the buttress near the foot of a leftward slanting faultline below the bottom bulge of the main slab.
Climb leftwards up the fault until two parallel cracks running down the slab are reached just right of a small roof.
Climb the left-hand crack until it is possible to traverse right and up to a small ledge. Continue up a flared crack to reach a mantelshelf, then go up a succession of dirty cracks to reach easier slabs and the top.
