Hand and fist cracks are climbed to a belay ledge beneath the final crack through the bulging headwall. A retreat was made from here just on nightfall on the first attempt (by Grant Davidson, Graham Charles, 12 January 1988).

Climb on to the block, then take a hand and finger crack towards the gaping fissure. Fear not: climb this off-width crack using flakes on the inside of the crack and on the face.
