100m, 6 pitches. P1, 25m - Starting near a cave, climb poor rock by grassy ledges to a crack. Stepping right (4a) the leftward ramp is met and followed to a corner. Climb corner with little protection, pulling out right to an easier angled slab to belay.
P2, 20m - Ascend easy slab to a corner. Climb left hand face of corner with a crack and pass around the overhang with big holds to an impressive situation (4a). Climb up to a ledge left of a corner to belay (corner also a good belay).
P3, 30m - climb up slab left of the corner. Angle becoming easier. Reach a grassy ledge in a corner to belay.
P4, 25m - follow up corner onto easy slab. Climb over an edge to a grassy decent gully.

First 4 pitches are what I am constituting as the hardest climbing with a reasonable decent point at top. Would be happier to have completed the ridge but this can be a task for future expeditions. We had to escape as a storm rolled in and we were not prepared for inclement weather on the climb. We did this via two quick pitches to the right and walk off down a grassy chute.
