UKC

A late addition to Spion embracing the left hand side of the arete. Climb the deceptively difficult cracks to reach a ledge. Climb the tower to perch on its highest ledge. Climb the thinner crack directly above to reach a band of poorer quality rock. Step left to good gear in a crack. Track back right and up to the left edge of the arete. Brace yourself. Stretch left to clip tied off pegs before making a monster move to a slot and the uppermost peg. Suck it in for a second powerful crux to reach crimps trending rightwards to top out on the left side of the arete.
