Follow the ramp past one friction slabby step. Belay below the start of the basalt dyke. 4) 40m, S. Pull over the short wall then climb the slab to the left edge of the ledge. Pull over this and traverse right to belay next to the dyke. 5) 40m, V.Diff. Follow the dyke for 25m then climb the groove above for 15m to belay at an old peg(!) A second peg is visible above. 6) 40m, VS 4b. Move up and right boldly on slabs crossing 2 other grooves to belay on the big ledge to the right. 7) 50m, V.Diff.
