| Route Description: |
| HS.4a, 3b, 3c Start: Above large block (3m right of Dead Man's Ladder). 1) 18m Climb corner crack by excellent layback to ledge on the left. Belay at bottom of arete above. 2) 24m Move right into corner. Climb crack, moving right onto face near top. Exit on large platform. Scramble over rock and grass to rightward side of wall. 3) 13m Above large block, mantleshelf onto ledge. Move right and up on small holds to top.
