100m, 3 pitches. This well protected route starts a few metres left of Fallen Block Climb, as for Late Again, where the angle of the cliffs relents a little.
P1 40m 6 Climb steeply up turf ledges to a point where you are level with a sloping, snowy ledge on the right. Arrange gear & make sketchy moves right to the ledge. The steep groove above is climbed direct until it relents. Continue upwards, following the line of the crack-bounded groove until it forks. Follow the right-hand line to turfy ground & then up more broken rocky ground to a stance with a number of small flat spikes, under & to the right of a short chimney.
P2 30m 4 Go up to the chimney but outflank it on the left, passing a number of rock spikes. Follow the line of spikes & then head slightly left of turfy ground to a stance below an open-book corner.
P3 30m 5 Climb the corner to exit on a ledge. Then climb the easier ground passing numerous spikes & boulders to the ridge. An in situ rap point lies a few metres to the right.
