First ascent
Steve Fortune and Steve Skelton, June 2015

The right leaning diagonal crack to right of major chimney on face. A mixture
of style and ease would be desired to overcome the full on first pitch,
neither of which was shown on the FA, with a mixture of whimpering, digging,
grovelling, whippers, power screams and eventual sending. Knees were used on
several occasions.

To the right of the major chimney in the face, initially follow a low angle ramp diagonally right, before stepping with difficulty into a chossy offwidth, improving into a right leaning double crack system. Crux is a roof at the top with good gear.
