Route Description:

Abseil to the same ledge as The Green Pool. From the right hand end of the ledge climb a thin crack (0 friend) to an overlap (3.5 friend). Climb this to a niche. Continue by a hard move to the large ledge. Climb the crack to gain a ledge on the arÃƒÂªte. Savour the atmosphere as you contemplate the steep crack finish. Leave the security of the ledge and run steeply to the top.

The bottom half of this route is where the excitement lies. Starting from that lower ledge feels intimating, and you just want to get out of there. The moves here are great and the gear trustworthy. After the ledge the route eases off and is about HVS. Certainly worth a star.
