Rockfax Description
A good expedition that possesses a lot of interesting and varied climbing, and a test of jamming ability on the first pitch. Start on a blocky ledge 5m right of Hydraulic Arete.
1) 10m. Move up the initial wall past diagonal breaks and then up steeper ground via some deep vertical cracks to a ledge. Move right along the ledge to a belay below a wide chimney.
2) 12m. Climb up the left wall of the chimney and stride over to the main tor on the other side of the chimney. Traverse right under an overlap until it is possible to pull up onto the summit. © Rockfax
