The right arete of the Dur. Sensational climbing on immaculate rock.

  • 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.

  • 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. Weave up and L on superb rock and gear, to the only obvious and outrageous break through the roof just R of arête. Up to 1st suitable ledge on R. (Or stay left closer to arête?)

  • P4
  • 18
  • 200m
  • Trad

Pitches 4–7 continue up the arete to a staunch finish.
