90m, 3 pitches.
An exciting alternative finish to Jenga following a steep chimney and corner in the upper headwall 10m to the left.
1. 35m Climb the first pitch of Jenga to a snow slope beneath the steep upper headwall. Belay beneath the chimney.
2. 25m Climb the chimney to a semi hanging belay.
3. 30m Step left out of the chimney to a crack leading into the upper corner. Climb the corner (crux) exiting onto a snow ledge. An easier corner and its right wall lead to the crest and a junction with Ling, Lawson & Glovers Route. Follow this to the top.
