Route Description:
52m. (4b)Start at the edge of the main slab to the right of Nightshade. Climb up two short steps and move left around the blunt arete to a flake (above a small overhang and left facing corner). Move up the obvious cracks and then gain the wide curving flake crack and belay just above this. 30m. (5c)A few delicate moves gain the curving crack. Follow this until it closes below the wall and trend left along the seam where a few thin moves lead to better holds. Belay on the large ledge above the corner crack. 45m. (5b)Trend right up the ramp to a steep corner with cracks and flakes. Climb the slab above for a few meters until a crack on the right can be reached. Follow this to the top and then move right past a large flake below the overhang and step down and belay. 45m. (5b)Climb the corner crack through the overhang and continue to the top past the loose stones on the right to a good belay about 8m up the heather ledge.
