600m, 10 pitches.
From Greenland Base Camp at Point 72, walk up the hiking path in the direction of the alpine boulder garden and the British Route.
Farmer's Peak is the first mountain to the right (south) of the path.
There is a hidden old cable bridge crossing the river, which takes you towards the back of the East pillar of Ulamertorssuaq.
Either cross the river by boulder hopping or use the top wire of the rope bridge.
Hike up the grassy steep slow of Farmer's peak towards to better safer ground of the rocky ridge. Follow this ridge as it develops from D, VD upto Severe. There are several ledges to bivi under on the route, but very little water or ice. Take a straw to suck water from seeps & stove to melt ice.
Follow cains ( rock stacks) higher up. Eventually you reach a sloping rock plateau and then one final pitch and you are onto easy ground to the spectacular summit.
