Left Buttress Direct Start

Climb directly to the ledge traversed by the
Original Route by either (i) the sustained face to
the left of the lowest promontory of rock, possibly
dealing with a couple of small overhangs en route,
or (ii) a corner system directly below the upper
buttress. Some parties have started up 3.51ii and
traversed into 3.51i. From the ledge, continue up
prominent wide cracks in the bottom cliffs to the
right of the crest of the buttress (grade 18). Joins
the Original Route where the gradient eases.
