DV1/12 Triversion" 98m S.4a About 40m left of the lowest part of the South Buttress there is a prominent rib of rock, at the bottom of the clean sweep of slabs and with a large spike at its base. The climb starts up this rib but then breaks left to follow another rib.

40m Follow the rib up and then move left onto slabs, vegetated terrace and the base of the obvious tilted pocked wall.

22m Descend 2m and move right to the diagonally rising quartzite fault. Follow this easily, though exposed, to a large overhang. Step down and round this to belay on a large block below the final headwal!.
8m Move right and up to heather and finish, or climb the steep clean corner above (4a) stepping left near the top.

This route really needs upgraded to VS as it seriously bold and someone\'s going to have a nasty accident some day.
