Rockfax Description
Great climbing, great positions and good rock but thin on gear. Best done in its original form traversing in from a belay in the small niche reached by abseil at all tides in calm seas. Descend slightly and traverse right until a crack system leads up diagonally right to the arete. Follow this to the top.
Aries Plus, HVS 4c - An even more exposed alternative is to drop right down to the lip of the slab for the traverse. There is little gear until you get quite high on the arete but the position is superb and you climb the full arete. © Rockfax

βeta: Very bold on the arete, and the only gear is behind bits of rock that move. Be careful!
