Climb direct then trend left and back right to pegs. Move up and left again to a ledge. 3) 4, 40m. Climb right then left over a bulge. Continue upwards, keeping right of the gully, to a ledge on the arete.4) 4+, 30m. Head up the vegetated groove, then press on up the slabs heading slightly left.5) 4, 20m. Climb a slab then trend left to a belay.6) 4, 40m. Move up rightwards to easier ground and the top.Variation Finish6a) 5, 25m. Climb the slab on the left to blocks and a belay.7a) 5+, 50m.

βeta: You can climb 4 & 5 pith in one go if 60m rope. The description of the 5th pitch is wrong, one climbs to the right, passing an off-width then easier ground to the belay further up 15+ m. The drawing of the 5th belay is also wrong, it is on the right hand side of the bushes and major top slabs. | ||

βeta: Bolted belays, but some not the best. Variation finish best but not as shown in RF guide. Start from 4th stance and follow 2 black bolts over blocky OH and then slabs to top. Pitch grades are about right. | ||
