5 pitches. Start up the clear crack system approximately 50m right of the FI. The first pitch follows the crack until an obvious ledge. P2 steps left and goes up a right facing corner onto a section of slab to a belay at the base of a turf filled left facing corner. Climb to the FI ledge. Cross right over the Clearances gully to the base of the clean looking buttress. Head up a crack system on the LH side, this can be climbed as two shorter pitches or one long pitch. For the final 7m head direct up the slab rather than the easy gully to your left. |
