200m, 4 pitches.
A pleasant climb with only the start visible from below. It takes a right slanting ramp from the right side of the bay right of Cock o’ the North.
1. 50m Climb ice or turf up the ramp to a snow patch. Instead of continuing rightwards, belay below a prominent slanting flake crack mid way along the snow patch.
2. 50m Step left and climb an awkward short wall, crux, to a ledge and then up the narrow gully which slants right.
3. The gully now jinks back left and up and steepens to belay by a cracked block on the left.
4. 50m A steepening snow fan and probable corniced exit finishes the climb.
