Ten metres across from the ledge (looking down the gorge) you’ll see this featured, gently overhanging arête. Rap off the top or diagonally from the ledge. Sequence is everything here, a good one will ensure you cruise to victory. Pre-clip the first bolt and put a long ‘draw on the last bolt if rapping in.
