On the centre of the shorter right hand, west facing wall. From its low
point, scramble up and left for about 60m to a scree shelf. Climb the slab
for 6 or more pitches between the two rock flanges at up to grade 14. The
last pitch places you on a ridge where a short final pitch gets you over the
first and most difficult of the ridges obstacles. The ridge is then followed
for about 150m as a difficult scramble to the summit. 300m height gain,
plenty of protection on excellent rock.

A short detour onto the prow on the right shortly above where it becomes prominent (traverse twin horizontal cracks rightwards onto crest, follow it) offers a more exposed variation on mainly beautiful red rock; "Weta Prow" 16.
