Climbs the prominent pale streak. Canter up the shallow corner and then up the overhang on unbelievable jugs. Eventually you must go right onto the sheer headwall where the crux awaits. Bolts are well spaced but where you need them. A previous guidebook description for this route used the term ‘horrendously overhanging country’, how the times have changed.
