Description:
Up and right of Homer Sapiens is a large bay, at the back of which are two
grooves. This route takes the curving groove on the right-hand side of the
bay. An excellent and varied climb.
Snowed up slabs and turf lead to a belay on the right, 40m.
Follow the steepening groove to a belay, 60m.
Continue up the groove onto a slabby ramp, belay part way up the ramp, 40m.
Follow the ramp, then head up right to a belay, 55m.
Move up to a small arete, then up left to a belay under a small slab, 30m.
Go round right and up a wide slabby groove to belay on a small snowfield,
55m.
Go left and up an awkward chimney groove to belay under the final rocks, 40m.
Move right and across to belay on the ridge, 30m.
