Rockfax Description
The arete of Brazen Buttress gives a magnificently-positioned pitch which has set many a camera clicking. Start beneath the arete. Climb up the left-hand side to gain a crack. Follow this to some ledges on the arete (possible thread belay if the sea is threatening). Climb the left-hand side of the arete then move onto the arete proper. Follow this to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: With a hanging belay and the waves lapping at my feet and being a miserable toe rag just wishing to head to the pub instead of one final route. Did get quite concerned when our good friends pulled their abb rope up to go home leaving on a committed approach to get home. Sorry Max for being a grumpy bugger. Well done for the scend! Start is stiff. Great climbing half way up. | βeta? | |

βeta: Yep, about right for E2. "Climb up the left hand side to gain a crack..." - hmm - seem to remember a perplexing move left across a scoop just before the crack, which took some working out. Lovely route. | βeta? | |
