4 pitches.
A pleasant climb which takes the very obvious left-trending ramp line at the right hand side of the buttress between Nereid Gully and Left-Hand Ridge.
Start at the foot of the ramp.
1. 30m. Climb the ramp - the lower section is trickier than it looks.
2. 30m. Continue up the ramp, finishing direct at the top to join Left-Hand Ridge above its crux.
3. 60m. Follow Left-Hand Ridge up the ridge crest then along the horizontal arête.
4. 50m. Climb the straightforward turfy grooves immediately right of the crest of the buttress between Jubilee Climb and Nereid Gully.
A gully on the right allows an easy exit to the plateau, but there are options straight up the buttress.
