Rockfax Description
70m. 1. 10m 5a As for Original Route.
2. 30m 5a Climb a shallow chimney just left of the arĂȘte, cross Original Route and go to a ledge left of its second belay. In the same line, enter a pod and then a wide continuation crack. Avoid the roof on the left and climb up rightwards to the cave of Original Route pitch 2.
3. 30m 5b Surmount the roof above to gain a groove leading up and right to a large ledge, possible belay. Stand on top of a block on the left and stretch up to the next break. Trend up and left to a corner above the right side of a roof. At its top a short traverse right gains the summit belay.
