The route starts below the West Ridge, and can be reached by abseiling off the obvious detached flake at the end of the first pitch of the West Ridge. Otherwise scramble up easy ground from the track. Look for a long clean right-leaning cornercrack which starts part way up the face: Find a belay stance some way below the crack. From the belay, scramble up towards a large ledge on the right, climb directly up the short wall to the start of the roof crack. Traverse right using jams and underclings to the lip. Crux is turning the lip and getting established in the corner. Follow the crack up and when it narrows move right to bridge up between two cracks (two pegs). Exit to the right of the block. Take cams 0–3, a couple of each size would be an advantage. Beware of rope drag, slings instead of quickdraws are a good idea.
