At the juncture of the landward facing wall and the East sea facing wall, climb the wide chimney/groove up/on and through the sharpest crystal rock it is possible to imagine. Falling would be very unpleasant indeed!

The tidal ledges for the previous routes ends abruptly at a deep sided zawn of perfect rock. Access is by a careful scramble down the back of the zawn to a ledge running along the right wall on the high tide mark.
