Climb the crack and then the groove above (it is also possible to climb the left face of the groove) to a good ledge. 2) 9m. Chimney up the steep crack and exit onto a large ledge and belay. 3) 9m. The easy chimney above to finish. Belay on blocks. © Rockfax

βeta: Great old fashioned climbing that requires a bit of grunt. The 'second' pitch has excellent large Hex protection at its start so is well worth placing. Perfectly feasable to do in one pitch. | βeta? |

βeta: Just do it in two pitches. The second pitch hardly worth roping up for. The chimmney requires a bit of old school climbing. Hard if not used to this style of climb. | βeta? |
