55m, 2 pitches. A fine arete with a steep left wall and a grassy corner gully on its left gives an exhilarating climb with two contrasting pitches. At the base of the arete is a steep wall; start below this at the foot of an obvious shallow corner-groove.
1. 20m 5a climb the corner groove, exiting right. step right past heather and move up to base of the clean arete.
2. 35m 4b follow the arete with little protection all the way to the top.
