A two-pitch line up the centre of the crag. First pitch is loose and poorly protected in places. Second pitch has good rock and good protection, great climbing.

Start below centre of crag, move up and right into a broad corner and follow the broad weakness up to a large ledge. Climb pillars out of the ledge to a large boulder then up right (crux) to large ledges in the centre of the cliff. Belay at a large boulder to the left of a prominent chimney/corner. This pitch has poor protection in the lower half, though the crux is decently protected.

Move right along a weakness from the prominent chimney/corner towards the face into a narrow and steep v-corner (good protection). Move up then left where it peters out into another steep v-corner. Move up this past a bulge to the top of the cliff. Good protection and good climbing.
