The right arete of the Dur. Sensational climbing on immaculate rock. P1 19 Alpine (Commitment) I 60m Trad Start just R of the large pale block at horizontal fault 40m right of the corner. Diagonal up and R through 2 laps and between 2 obvious tussock patches to belay on top of R hand tussock patch. P2 18 40m Trad Diagonal back L to belay beneath arête. P3 22 50m Trad The best pitch ever. Up on L side of arête to start, swinging round to R at 5m.

P4 18 200m Trad Pitches 4–7 continue up the arete to a staunch finish.
