Good climbing on mostly good rock. From the base of the buttress, follow the ledge system rightwards until a steep move can be made past the overlap. Move up and left and follow a crack system up the front of the buttress to a sloping ledge and bolt belay.

Carry on up the crack system. Go up a groove, or step left onto a ledge to follow the exposed arête. Both options lead to a step through an overlap to the final short wall. An awkward bolt belay is just over the top of the face. Abseil descent.
