Rockfax Description
The long, low-angled arete is a popular expedition with some excellent sustained climbing on the first pitch.
1) 30m. Climb just left of the rib via slabs and cracks to a ledge and block.
2) 20m. Climb a rib to easy ground and the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The obvious curving ridge line that is the main feature of Truss Buttress.
Start just left of the foot of the ridge, ascend the ridge using cracks until the angle eases (Possible Belay). Continue up a small slab and then ascend the grooves, ribs and ledges of the upper section with increasing ease to belay at the top. Terrain becomes walkable close to the end of the pitch.

The best descent route follows a small, steep, but well-worn line through the heather with an exposed step over a small boulder before a slab can be descended using a tree for balance. A longer and perhaps safer descent option is to go off over the top and then walk down the main gully to the side of the crag.
