Directly above the top of this, is a clean slab flanked by two grassy bays. Start at the arete on the left of this slab.<ol><li> 36m. Up arete, easily at first, but awkwardly at a bulge at 15m. Above this move right to gain a good deep crack system which is followed to a belay at the foot of a deep chimney system on the right. </li><li>36m Easily up chimney for 10m to a grass ledge and rowan tree. Bridge up the steep corner above (crux) and then follow crack and slab above to large ledge and belay. </li><li>12m Up the cracks on the right above to the top. Good spike belay 5m back.</li></ol>
