Climb the obvious deep gully on the west end of the cliff. Under banked out conditions there is a pitch of steep snow followed by a couple of ice pitches and a steep cornice exit. A very atmospheric route.

βeta: We didn't have any Screws, so it made for a much bolder outing. The ice and Neve is in good condition throughout the route at the moment. Probably grade three right now with the steep step on P2. The Cornices are pretty significant so I'd be warry of it collapsing under sunny / warm weather. | βeta? | |
