Start in the obvious, short crack left of The Lonely Sea And The Sky. No Fixed anchor. Be aware of a very rare shrub in the gully. Climbed 3/12/13 but I assume it has been climbed before. First ascent unknown.

Short wall to the right of the descent gully, about two metres left of the arête. Being a soloed route, it probably has no protection.

Start on the right side of the arête just left of “Scott Free”. Climb the right side of the arête past four bolts to belay as for Scott Free. There is a rest on the arête by the third bolt and you could bail out from here (but you would be cheating).
