Length: 110m
First ascent: P Gribbon, B White (4/61)
Route Description:
SOUTH BUTTRESS This is the fine, fairly continuous buttress of rock to the left of Square Cut Gully. The main features are the short but striking tilted pockled wall low down on the left (Pitch 2 of Triversion), the broad, clean sweep of slabs in the middle (Diversion) and the obvious overhang on the right hand side (Turners Corner). The left edge of the buttress is a mixture of short slabs, walls and grassy rakes. The first two routes follow weaving lines up this edge, with a search for interest being rather artificial. Detailed descriptions are not given. Fife/Dunfockery depending on Variation taken At the left edge of the South Buttress, as the cliff turns up the hill, there is a short broken wall. Climb the wall and follow slabs to the next wall. Up this, onto a broken slab area and pick one of the many exits above. Short traverses to the right lead easily into the top of Triversion.
