At the left -hand side of the undercut
base is a fist crack behind a tree. Climb the
crack, move right around the overhang and
up the crack to a sling belay on top of the
large block.

  • P2

Climb to the overhang, avoiding
the loose blocks, move right and up to gain
the near horizontal crack. Free climb for
two metres then aid on friends to the big
flake. Layback around this to finish. Will be
possible to free the second pitch, but to date
hasn’t been done.
