Natural pro requiredThis route is an ideal family outing being of low difficulty and relatively
unexposed. It is about 5 full pitches or a large number of shorter pitches.
THere is plenty of scope for natural protection, but there are areas that are
not protected. The rock is excellent quality. This arete climb starts low
down and on the south side of the the stream draining Margaret Landing.
Descending into the base using the natural walking line that traverses from
the TASCMaster wall. It is a low arete, almost a fin of rock, that climbs
high into the Margarets landing basin. It terminates on top of a small
pinnacle at the southern side of the head wall of the Margaret's Leap circ.

Descent can be done by abseil of the top to the pinnacle on the uphill side (or to the north if you want a bigger abseil). Can scramble down easily enough. Best descent down the mountain is on the broken ground/slabs to the north or the arete.
