Rockfax Description
270m. A sporting mountaineering route with much scrambling in the lower reaches in order to gain and climb the arête above and right of the Amphitheatre. Start up a branch of Cìoch Gully, 50m down and right from the base of Cìoch Buttress (or start further left if the gully is very wet). Go left up the main gully a short way, then leave it and ascend slabs towards the Amphitheatre. Pass Central Gully which crosses the base of the Amphitheatre, then go up and right on water-worn slabs to the arête. Follow the arête for 100m to where it narrows dramatically. A 15m steep wall on the right forms an exposed crux, leading to a small bay.

UKC Logbook Description
Climb up to base of Cioch Gully and take a right onto often seeping slabs (first crux). Head up to where central gully crosses and there follow ledges off up to the right onto the arete proper. Over easier ground to steeper overhanging rock overcome by climbing over nose on the right (second crux). Move up beneath even steeper face, traversing left beyond towards top on looser rock.
