70m, 2 pitches.
Start just before the crag turns to face the easy gully on the right at a groove with a large block above. A serious second pitch, although not technically difficult.
1. 40m Climb the groove in the crest to a block, move right and follow several short tricky steps to a right trending snowy ramp. Climb this until a grooved rib is reached with a gully on the left and a right facing corner groove on the right, poor belay.
2. 30m Climb the corner groove on good hooks but with poor protection and continue up snow to reach a good thread in a pinnacle. Continue trending right along short steps to a shallow left facing corner, climb this (serious) to below a large block and exit right to a huge terrace.
