An excellent sustained route which follows a continuous series of cracks,
topping out high on the West Ridge just short of the summit. The route
begins on the right side of the central slabs.

    1. Up initial steep slabs, trending right and working up broken cracks to
      left-facing corner. Belay up and left.
    1. Follow obvious right-slanting gully.
    1. Continue up face and into obvious corner.
    1. A ramp leads to a ledge with sling belay.
    1. Thin moves right across slab until a left-facing corner is gained. A
      classic thin corner requiring delicate moves; belay above on small rubble
      ledge.
    1. Continue up corner system; some devious moves through a series of
      bulges .
    1. Follow weakness to a belay beside right-facing corner.
    1. Climb prow which breaks an overlap band.
    1. Follow groove up then trend right for belay.
    1. Take broken but solid rock through overlaps for 100m until the ridge
      is gained.
