UKC

265m, 7 pitches. Start towards the left end of the lowest rocks of Central Buttress, just left of a left facing corner capped by a small overhang.

1. 50m Climb easy slabs and vegetated breaks to belay beneath an overhang beside some small trees.
2. 40m 4b Step right and climb the pleasant slabs above to belay beneath steepening slabs.
3. 50m 4c Traverse right to an easier angled open groove and follow this leftwards. Follow a steeper left trending groove through the next slab to the left of a steepening and a poor belay (better belay a few meters up the next slab).
4. 45m 5a Climb right, towards a thin blind left facing groove/corner before trending left towards a smooth dark bulge. Surmount this (bold crux) to a ledge. Climb the next short slab to the base of a prominent left facing corner.
5. 30m 4c Step round to the right of the corner and climb the steep wall to a prominent ledge (belay) which can be followed down to the left which leads to the most prominent corner line that leads to the largest overhang (traverse not included in this pitch).
6. 45m 4c From the base of the corner climb up and left aiming for the prominent twin cracks in the roof. Once under these climb the right and then left crack through the overhang and to the belay.
7. 60m Climb easy slabs and vegetated terraces to the top.
