This is the red coloured face opposite the East Wall, just east of the farm track where it crests the saddle ("The Gap").

As it is known that this wall was climbed on in the 1970s, it is likely that some of the routes were climbed long before the listed ascents.

Take the obvious left leaning crack in the middle of the wall then move right to the thin crack going straight up. Follow this to the top. Good gear and plenty of options for an anchor at the top.
