Start as for Pining, traversing along the ledge to the corner, thus avoiding damage to the vegetation below the corner. Climb the corner on adequate protection, with an exciting finish afetr the crack disappears. Be sure to place good gear before leaving the crack to the right of the corner. Use the anchors at the top of Buffy The Vampire Layer or belay well back from the top.
