Located on

Ascends the clean red rock of the central buttress all the way to the summit, never deviating more than six metres. There are occasional bolt belays and runners.
Start up a thin crack a few metres right of the crest, moving back left about 10–15m up (grade 21/22 depending on the line taken).
Continue up the crest, climbing left through the intimidating roof on pitch 4 (grade 22) to reach the Crows Nest Ledge.
Above the ledge, climb two pitches up the crest of the buttress (grade 15/16) to an obvious prow, then climb this direct at grade 22.
There is a final 60m pitch to the summit, mostly easy but with a grade 20 finger crack.
A direct start to the first pitch, straight up the crest, is Superconnected, grade 27 (Alex Palman, February 1996).
