40m.
This climbs the impressive South summit prow dropping into Coire nan Fuaran. It follows an obvious corner line running up the edge of the prow. It has the advantage of being the highest climb on Arran and facing NW receives little if any direct sunlight. It does need the turf to be frozen as it depends on this for about 99% of the route. Access from col just North of South summit. Start at base of corner.
1. 40m. Climb the corner direct with the crux about 10/15m passing some rock bulges where the buttress on either side overhangs. Easier climbing above leads to a pleasant finish up the exposed left edge.
