Rockfax Description
Good exposed climbing up the right-hand arete of the west face, spoilt by some poor rock. A rope for the finish should be pre-placed. Climb a bulging crack on the seaward side, then move onto the arete. Step right, level with a ramp on the left, and follow the arete past a bulge and crack to easier but loose ground. © Rockfax

βeta: Something funny has happened here as this is not the description for Cosa Nostra. Cosa Nostra has a hard start, then an easy bit, then a steep, pumpy crack to finish, which suffers from a bit of looseness that affects the quality of the gear but doesn't make much difference to the actual climbing.
