Four pitches: 19, 23, 24, 24. Originally a mixed aid line, A4. . Move directly up on good gear to a solid belay.

Head up and left from anchor clipping a couple of old bent pitons then straight up for several metres on minimal gear to a committing 4m traverse right. Head straight up to easier climbing, bomber rock and good times. Clip a couple more old pitons before belaying at a suspect flake with sardine can wedged in behind. An eerie pitch.

Head straight up awkward corner continuing up an awesome layback section as it heads off right.
