70m, 2 pitches.
Start in the small groove just left of Perseverance Groove. Climb the groove up to a steep step (crux), pull through to good turf. Continue to easier ground heading to the crest of the rib on the right, belay in line with the small tower on the right. Climb through the shallow groove above which brings you out onto the face of Perseverance Rib (Perseverance Rib goes right here) and stay left pulling through the second steep step which again leads to good turf and easier ground. Stay to the left of the rib and continue to the plateau, finishing through a low angled chimney. The presence of good turf makes the route straightforward, without frozen turf the route relies on good hooks (Easy Tech 4).
