UKC

3 pitches. Start from the grassy terrace below the crag where rusty streaks on the rock are an obvious feature. Go straight up to the traverse line of Oxo and then move up into the right facing corner above the diagonal ramp - a piton is an obvious feature high in the corner. Straight up the corner to a large ledge and then follow the same corner line (awkward but quite easy if a semi-layback is adopted) to a second ledge below the top pich of Oxo - belay. Move easily down the slab to the right to the ledge at the top of Oxo, pitch 1. Climb the awkward left facing corner (good wire placements) until your right hand can reach an obvious hold above your head on the right edge of the groove. Bridge up until you can move your left hand onto a higher hold above your right hand and then move round onto the front of the buttress. From there a series of steep moves on excellent holds leads to the top.

βeta: Boxo is the more logical line now Oxine is a thing. I got rid of the worst but take secateurs for the top of P1 as there are still some brambles atm
