From the chains at the base of the corner, traverse under the roofline as for The Acrobat but continue rightwards onto the brown wall, staying low to pick up a good pocket. Now head directly up to the roof above, making a cruxy move into the hanging corner. Time for a rest here before heading right and around into the next corner. Bridge across and up to a small belay ledge for two. Excellent quality rock and moves. Generally following easterly showers or in humid conditions, the rock turns black and stays damp for a few days.

From the chains at the top of the via ferrata, traverse under the roofline as for The Acrobat but continue rightwards onto the brown wall, staying low to pick up a good pocket. Now head directly up to the roof above, making a cruxy move into the hanging corner. Time for a rest before heading right and around into the next corner. Bridge across and up to a small belay ledge for two. Excellent quality rock and moves. Generally following easterly showers or in humid conditions, the rock turns black and sweats. It can stay damp for a few days until sunny weather arrives and dries it out again.

Straight up from the belay then move across the sandy ramp and onto the grey rock again. Up into the crack and layback the corner to and insane heel hook to get over the bulge on pocketed rock.
