First corner to right of slabs on Homer Ridge step. Follow a shallow groove just right of the ridge. Climb corner past bulge at 13m, over a small overlap and into a scoop at 30m. Layback on a small rib to the right to a second scoop just above. Belay (or continue up right to a sloping ledge below an overhang.) The crack system branches here.

Take the right branch and climb to sloping ledge below an overhang. Climb the overhang, then traverse left across a slab (crux, 16) to gain a spike in the lefthand crack. Climb the groove above (poorly protected for the first 25m) to a largish sloping grassy ledge.

Continue up the groove until faced with a blankish slab. Traverse a short distance left to beneath a small bulge. Make an awkward pull-up over the bulge (16) then continue up easy slab above trending right over a rounded rib to a groove and belay ledge/foothold. Unrope at pedestal top a few metres further up. Descend by downclimbing or abseiling Homer Ridge.
