45m, 2 pitches. P1, 5b, 25m – Start at a ledge at the base of the north west arete (accessed by boat at high tide). Climb up and slightly right on good rock to a recess. Pull through a blocky overhang to a large pale coloured break, wriggle leftward and surmount a further step to belay on small nuts at the base of the green steps.

P2, 5b, 20m - Climb up the blocky staircase before making bold and committing moves up the face left of a thin groove to a ledge. Finish up the short crack.

Bring small/micro gear for P2.

βeta: Could well be E3. The mid-belay isn't great, bring micro wires. This leads straight into P2 which is not that well protected either. A good route, but treat carefully. Looking back, it was one of my more worrying climbing experiences!
