100m, 3 pitches.
Start 10m left of the obvious offwidth crack formed by a huge flake, well left for the start of the Glasscutter.
1. 25m. Climb the open fault up then rightwards to gain the top of the flake-crack. Continue straight up to avoiding any easy ledges on the left to a cracked wall.
2. 25m. Climb the cracked wall and right trending corner above to join the glasscutter above the hanging slab and follow this route for 10m to below the deep chimney.
3. 50m. Climb the obvious deep chimney back and footing past a small roof, then follow corners on the ridge crest to the summit cairn. A fine pitch
