The searing sharp arête. It’s a long way to the first bolt but the climbing is on generous pockets and well below the grade on this section. Proceed with care and then style your way up to the classic technical arête crux high up.
It’s well worth continuing up the arête – either as a second pitch or as a single long pitch.
