Climbs the face and arête of the lowest block as you approach the saddle. Start at the metal stake, climb a short crack on the left, move right and climb up to the arête. Continue to a belay on the ‘horse’.

Climb the crack system and right to finish up the arête. Not a route for short people with weak hearts.
