Instead of traversing left on the Cullen/Entwistle route, climb directly up a short steep wall to the base of a large open book corner which splits the face; two pitches of excellent slab and crack climbing including some dynamic jamming protected by bomb proof chocks. Continue to a large roof which can be turned on the right by pleasant slabs and a slightly damp chimney. |
